Could you tell us something about what you do?

I’m a ” life explorer “, I just love traveling around the world, discovering magical places and connecting with allot of people.

How did you first become interested in travel and exploring?

You know, deep down I’ve always been a person who loves deeply, and I’ve always been passionate about life. But a couple a years ago a tragedy happened, and for some time I sadly forgot how to live and what life is about. But you know, life isn’t always easy, it’s not supposed to be, you have to be strong, and one day I just realized that I’m the one who decides if I’m gonna be happy or not. No one else can decide that for me, I’m The one who has that power. So I packed a bag and started my life exploring journey.

It gives me the chance to meet and connect with allot of people. To see how people live and hear about their life stories. That, I think is the most beautiful thing about traveling.
