My next destination:
Guatemala - from May 2024 until May 2024 View allDescription
I'm Leo and I'm currently taking a gap year before going to university to study languages next year. Travelling and experiencing other cultures (especially their languages) have always interested me and once I have worked to save up enough money I will spend the rest of my year travelling East-West United States and then North-South Latin America hoping to fit in as many experiences and chances to practice my languages as possible as well as finding workways where I can stop for longer periods.
I have a particular interest in hitchhiking that I've gained from various book and documentaries that I have read/watched. I would like to see as much of my travels as possible from this perspective and if anyone wants to join me on that mission please get in contact!Interests
