Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hello, I'm Bex. :) I am a freelancer / DJ / creative from Bristol, UK.

I am planning a trip through South America November 2023 - February 2024. I will start in Buenos Aires, Argentina and travel upwards through a few countries ending in Rio, Brazil for carnival. I'm planning to do some work aways throughout this time to gain new experiences and create memories.

I am curious about the world and have lots of interests including economics (which I studied at university), anything active (cycling / weight training / running / yoga / hiking), music production and sustainable living / minimalism.

I'm looking to improve my Spanish whilst I am away (studied a bit at school / university) and also to pick up surfing. :)

I'm upbeat, a hard worker and love meeting new people!
