New Zealand is my ninth destination of 2024! Since February, I’ve been fulfilling my dream of exploring the world, traveling through Australia, Tasmania, the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, France, Réunion, and Mauritius. Taking a break from work, I’m dedicating my savings to discovering new cultures and connecting with people worldwide. This journey has been transformative, and I feel immense gratitude for every experience. I’m friendly, empathetic, and adventurous, with a passion for nature, hiking, diving (working towards becoming a Dive Master), animals, music, and cooking. I love meaningful conversations and have connected with many through Helpx, Workaway, and Couchsurfing. After New Zealand, I plan to visit Thailand and Vietnam, and in the coming years, Canada and Central and South America—with a dream of one day biking across Africa! While I don’t have a place to host on Couchsurfing yet, I look forward to offering hospitality in the future. But for now, I’d be happy to share some treats and good conversation. As a solo female traveler, I prioritize respectful and safe environments and will report any inappropriate behavior.
