My mentors wished they took more risks in their 20s. To avoid this regret, I left home in October 2022 with a one-way ticket to Berlin. Since starting this solo journey, my travel style shifted from fast-paced tourism to now cycling, camping, and immersing myself in daily life. I’ve met incredible people along the way -locals and travelers- who profoundly influenced my worldview.

Currently traveling with my sister!
