About Me

I am a curious person and I love adventure. I have been traveling the world for the past year and 8 months and I teach English online to support this travel. I like to make music and can play a few instruments, also I am very active and love rock climbing, snowboarding, surfing and hiking/camping.

I tend to stay in a country for 2-3 months to really immerse and understand the culture. At first, it was traveling with the money I had saved, but once that ran out I began to work online and my "traveling" turned into "living" in different countries.

After I finish my world tour I plan on building and selling travel vans and RVs.
