Travelling
My next destination:
New Zealand - from Mar 2023 until May 2024 View allDescription
Since I was born in Namibia and raised in Canada, I have grew up with the fascination to travel and step outside my comfort zone. I am an easy-going person who has a deep appreciation for good conversation and the outdoors. I am happiest when outside either hiking, slacklining, swimming or climbing. I have solo backpacked around Europe (Italy, Portugal, Croatia and Switzerland), where I did several workaways. I have now been living in NZ for a year, and am keen to keep meeting new people, learning new skills, and having new experiences!
