Description

Hi there,

my name is Silas, I´m 19 years old and I´m from Friedrichshafen in Germany. In my free time I love meeting friends or doing sports like skating, surfing, canoeing, hiking, climbing and fitness. I'm always up for something stupid or crazy and my biggest dream is sailing around the world or living in a Van for a couple years.

I dreamed about travelling the world for many years and have always used my vacations to work in different jobs to build my budget to eventually start my trip.

This September my dream came true! I flew to Chile and have since had the best time of my life. Meeting new people that I now consider my friends, experiencing things I would never have imagined and seeing the nature I have always dreamed of seeing!

Originally my plan was to stay in Chile for roughly 3 Months and then continue with French Polynesia and New Zealand.
However upon arrival in Santiago, Chile I basically fell in love with South America right away and now plan on staying there for the entire time I got (max. September 2024).
The Idea is to travel up northwards on the Westcoast, visiting Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Columbia where I'll eventually end my trip.

I´m a very spontaneous person that is easy to get along with and generally likes making himself useful or learning something new.

I speak German and English fluently and am currently learning Spanish (small talk level).

Feel free to message me on Instagram: silas.travel

I hope you have a nice day!
