Travel experience
I've been travelling the world full time for the past 3 years, with my boyfriend, while we work online. We are always on the move, changing destinations every couple of weeks. Been to most of Europe, some of the middle east and are currently in southeast Asia. Trying our best to experience the world while we are still young and healthy! Learning as much as we can along the way :)
But what's my story?
When I was 17 years old, I ventured abroad alone for the first time to study English in Oxford for 8 months and took the opportunity to travel throughout Europe (UK, Spain, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Norway, etc) with friends I made in class. This experience let my passion for the English language and for travelling grow, so I enrolled in more English courses in Hawaii (2017) and Vancouver (2019).
In 2018, I took a semester off university in Buenos Aires to work as a receptionist and operator in a 5-star hotel in the centre of London for 7 months. During this experience, I also visited some other cities in England and went to Italy for the first time. I loved the latter sooo much, I ended up moving to a little town in the south of Italy for 6 months with my boyfriend years later.
During the pandemic, I started working with Worldpackers (I promote them on social media). Even though I'd known about them for many years, it wasn't until 2021 that I decided to step out my comfort zone a bit more and embarked on my first 2 volunteering experiences in hostels in Spain (Seville and Canary Islands) for 1 month each. And they were absolutely amazing! I met so many people from around the world and learnt so many things, I definitely want to do more and even try different types of opportunities and programs within Worldpackers.
As you may have noticed, I am really passionate about travelling and, specifically, I try to take the time to really experience what it is like to live in a different country with different cultures. Meeting new people with different perspectives, ideas and backgrounds, fulfills my soul and I always try my best to leave a part of me everywhere I go while also showcasing my trips on social media so that people who don't have the same opportunities as me get to live them through the screen and maybe even gain the confidence to do it themselves too!
