about me
I left home a few days after my 24th birthday for what was meant to be a trip through South America. Three years and 29 countries later, I’m still a full-time nomad.
My content is about the parts of travel that rarely make the guidebooks: the people I meet, the things I try for the first time and the small routines that make a new place feel like home. I share honest numbers, practical guides and short films, mostly on Instagram, where 43.9k people follow along.
