Description

Hi everyone! 😊 We are Laura and Manuel, two enthusiastic adventurers embarking on a journey to explore the world together. We met a few months ago while traveling in Australia and decided to combine our journeys. With our first destination being: INDONESIA, where we have spent a month and a half, now we are in Malaysia and heading to Thailand.

I'm Manuel, a twenty-seven-year-old Argentine who got his degree in Architecture. I've set out to travel the world in search of my personal purpose. I love engaging with new people, learning their stories, and understanding what brought them to where they are today. I'm passionate about all forms of art, have performed in improvisation shows, and I am currently developing my musical talents, particularly playing the guitar. I enjoy reading and diving into captivating stories that provoke deep reflections on the meaning of life.

I'm Laura, a twenty-two-year-old Catalan who got her degree in Engineering and came to Australia to further my career as a classical singer. Being in such a diverse environment and meeting people from various backgrounds inspired me to explore the world and every form of art in it. I strongly believe that through music and art one can get to discover the inner personality and culture of each place and that's what is appealing me the most about this upcoming adventure.

Together, our goal is to connect Asia and Europe by land (with some flights and ferries to explore the amazing treasures of Indonesia and the Philippines). We're hitchhiking, couchsurfing, and seeking volunteer opportunities to deeply immerse ourselves in different cultures beyond the typical tourist attractions. We're eager to share our stories and backgrounds while embracing the unique experiences that these distant cultures have to offer.

More details about your skills

Back in our countries we studied respectivelly archictecture (Manu) and telecommunications engineering (Laura), making us skilled in construction and web developing. Our time in Australia allowed us to diversify our abilities and significantly improve our English skills. Both of us have been working in the hospitality industry so we excel in our communication skills in english, by which we could be good english teachers.

In addition, we have also been working in the labour and gardening sector, so we can contribute to these activities as well. Particulary we love cooking in our free time, and even though we have never worked as it, we love getting our hands dirty and bringing declicious food to the table :)
