About Me

one way ticket, without to much plans, with the belief that I could mange myself everywhere.

It all began when I arrived to the period of time that I need to decide what I want to study.

I really didn't have any specific idea.
So I asked my self the next question: "if you had an unlimited amount of money, what you would like to do?" And my answer was to travel around the world.

So I saved money for 2 years and finely started to travel.

It was important for me to be spontaneous and appreciate what I have so I decided to travel in minimalist way.
So I bought a 34 liter of bag and until now it has been very comfortable.

I stared traveling last November in Sri Lanka.
Then I did hich-hiking from north to south during 3 month in New Zealand (that was amazing experience).

Then I flew to Fiji. I was living in a local village for one an half months. They showed me their culture. Over there I learned that you can live happy with a good social life without having a lot of money. They showed me also what the is the meaning of sharing.
Sharing is caring :)

Over their I decided to continue through the water. I went to the marina and I met a owner of an yacht that travel around the world.
He accepted to have me as a crew member on his boat.

So we sailed to Vanuatu, Solomon islands, PNG, Palau and after 4 mouth of sailing we arrived to the Philippines.

At the Philippines I was hosted for my first time at Manila, James made me feel like home and quickly we become really good friends.

From there I continue to Taiwan, thanks to Daria (super cool girl that I knew from couchsurfing) I met hitchhike meeting that made me want to hitchhike all around Taiwan.

from there I continue to Japan to meet my brother after an year of traveling, then I moved back to the Philippines to work in an israeli T.V show "SURVIVAL".

From there I continue to Vietnam with 2 friends from work. I was hosted by Dihn & Dao (2 lovly girls that show me around Hanoi).

Me and my friends bought a fake honda motorbikes and we cross from north to south Vietnam and south to north Laos (it's took 3 month on the roads).
After Laos I continue to Thailand to meet my 2 beautiful sisters.
I continue a flew to Burma to travl with amazing girl named Aneta and back to home through India.

Now I keep thinking about the next adventure and I sure that couchsurfing will be my main part of the next trip. I learned that the most important thing during traveling is with who you traveled. Hope to meet you :)
