Description

Hola! 👋🏻 I graduated in December 2020 and set out on a continuous journey fueled by my love for travel, sparked during a transformative year in Italy at 15.

For me, the essence of travel lies in immersing oneself in local cultures, and this is why I am a devoted enthusiast of platforms like Workaway and Couchsurfing. These avenues have not only altered the way I travel but have also enriched my experiences by fostering genuine connections with locals.

As an outgoing individual, I relish the opportunity to meet new people and forge meaningful connections. Nature holds a special place in my heart, and I find solace in hiking and swimming. Whether surrounded by the tranquility of mountains or the serenity of water, I am equally at peace.
