Hi my name is Leonie and I’m nineteen years old. I started my ten months long journey around the globe in October, currently in New Zealand (and loving it so far!)
I love travelling and learning about different cultures and traditions. And the best way to do so is by meeting and living with people from all round the world.
In my free time I like to take photos (sometimes I take way too many). I love to collect recipes from different countries and try my best to cook them at home. One of my favourite dishes is Cachupa, a stew from the Capo Verde Islands. And going for a run or a swim with my dog is something that makes my day ten times better!
