I try to travel a lot; discover new places and meet up with local people. I like to drink a beer and have a chat; at home, in a bar, beneath the stars? I'm always up for a nice story about your country or the amazing places you have been to. I love spontaneous and adventurous trips :) My backpack adventures are focused on nature and remote areas. I try to avoid the bigger cities. In my daily life I work with dogs. I love animals, especially: dogs, cats, horses and all kinds of wildlife.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I believe I did too many amazing things. Each trip I went on was unforgettable and has its own highlights.... I can't make a decision! - Travelling through Croatia for almost 2 months. Wild camping and made amazing hikes. - Diving on multiple localities in the red sea. - My ride on a young, wonderful stallion on a beach in Costa Rica. This ride was the horse's first time on the beach and we both enjoyed galloping along the coast so much. - Ziplining through the rainforest of Costa Rica.
