Hey,
I fell in love with traveling totally unintentionally. But once you sit in that plane and fasten your seatbelt, there is no way back. I have visited most of European countries by the age of 24. Spent most of my time in the Nordics. Something about this rough and unpredictable weather makes you appreciate every moment of good and get creative with a bad. If I can I always choose to drive around the places, since you can see so much more while driving and discover some hidden gems. And from my point of view, trips should be way more about experiencing the culture, than just taking that one great picture, but of course ideal if you could do both!
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I love hiking and exploring my surroundings. From nature to cities, from rivers to lakes and seas. I like to experience as much as possible when I travel, hence my list of to-do's usually is quite long!"
How did you get involved in travel?
"Back in 2018 had a fantastic friend who suggested going to Thailand. Ever since I can't stop traveling, I always have at least one planned trip. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"The Faroe Islands were one of my favorite trips. the views you get after doing some hikes are breathtaking. It's so wild and beautiful! Some old little villages have locals baking waffles and serving them with a hot cup of tea or coffee. What could be better after a challenging hike?"
