Having grown up in a melting pot of cultures, I’ve always honored diversity, be it at home or around the world. I was privileged to be part of a multicultural family that allowed me to travel since I was born, however, my true passion for travel was ignited with my first solo trip to South Korea at age 16. I was alone in a foreign place trying to get around while immersing myself in the rich local culture and meeting the nicest people.

After that trip, I became addicted to travel. I became addicted to the change of environment. To the diversity of cultures and to the challenges that come with independent travel. Without it, my life feels dull. I’m constantly in the search of something new and a kick of adrenaline.

Previously, I thought the more countries I visited, the more fulfilled I would become. However, in recent months I discovered that sometimes, a slower approach to travel is better than rushing through the world. And there is no better proof for that than the half a year I spent exploring Pakistan. My goal now is to deeper experience all the beautiful cultures and find kindness in every corner of the globe.
