Travel information

I am currently

Description

This year alone, I have hitchhiked more than 3,000 km, couchsurfing through countries in East and Southern Africa with nothing but trust in the road and the kindness of strangers.
Having lived and worked in both Europe and Africa for over 10 years, I am passionate about exploring the world, meeting incredible people, and exchanging culture, stories, and skills along the way.
For me, the unknown is not something to fear, but something to celebrate. I believe that when you open yourself fully to the universe, it responds with protection, blessings, and heartwarming encounters.
The inspiring stories and connections I’ve gathered along the way continue to shape who I am.

More details about my language interests
