About Me

After 2 years without travelling I decided to go on a long hitchhiking journey across South America. I started in March 2022 in Ushuaia, Argentina. The original plan was to reach Colombia.

I made it and reached the Caribbean coast of Colombia in February 2023. Then I decided that I would still like to continue and so I crossed from Colombia to Panama on speedboats and hitchhiked through Central America, Mexico and USA until I reached Canada in October 2023. There I spent almost one year working and traveling. Finaly I continued my journey north until I got to the northern most point of Pan-American Highway in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska in September 2024.

Currently I am back in Canada. I decided to make a 'round the world trip from it. My plan is to cross the Pacific ocean, travel across Asia and get back to Europe in 2025 (or maybe 2026 :D).
