About Me

I love meeting new people and expand my horizons. I’ve been traveling (or more like changing locations frequently) for the last year and a half and it has totally been a blast. Of course this lifestyle comes with it’s own struggles and challenging moments, but I know for sure that in the end I get the most wonderful and valuable experience I can. It teaches me to seek home in myself rather than in locations and when I feel it I know that I am safe wherever I am.

Anyways, it’s a pleasure for me to share this experience and tell stories from my travels. I’m also really into music, I sing, play a few instruments and try learning music production. I love cooking and if you host me I’d be delighted to cook you something amazing (vegetarian tho). Oh, and I’m a graphic designer if you were wondering what do I do for living.

In the last few months I’ve been to Turkey, India, lived in Vietnam for a few months and now I’m in Bali. In the beginning of August I’m going to Singapore for a couple of days, so let me know if you’re there, I’d love to meet new friends and explore the new city! Also if you can host me there for a few nights, I’ll be extremely grateful!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Woke up at 4 am to hike and see the sunrise from Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. It was spectacular!
