08/26 I've just moved to Newcastle for work. I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time at the beach and in the ocean baths. :) **** I've just moved back (Jan 2026) to Australia. Still slowly working on my PhD, but now in much better surroundings. I'll be staying on my family's farm in the mountains near Dorrigo, NSW. It's a really beautiful place, just a bit isolated after a while, so I'd definitely be happy to have some travellers drop by. **** After travelling for a while, I've just moved to Leiden to start a PhD in environmental science. **** I used to be a Chemist but I became distracted, I quit my job and left Australia in 2014. After travelling for several years, I am slowing down a little, but I am sure I will always be a nomad. I did a motorcycle trip around Australia, backpacked through South East Asia and finally, around Europe. I lived in Leipzig and studied German and Environmental Chemistry. During the plague, I went back to Australia, then travelled for the first half of 2022. Now I'm back in Europe and starting a PhD in the Netherlands. I really like the nature and outdoors, and almost every kind of sport. Rugby is traditional, but I've tried many things, like ballet, acrobatics and pole dancing.
TRAVELING RIGHT NOW ✈️ Hey hey. I’m a Spanish/Moroccan girl from Barcelona 🌍 that’s been a world citizen for a bit too long, but kinda based in Australia (if I had to choose a zip code hehe) I love being around good energy and having friends from around the world! I have been traveling and living in different countries for the past 15 years and my main focus now is to visit every country in the African continent. I want to learn about cultures, people and life in each country! So far, I have visited 26 out of the 54 countries 🙏🏼🌍 with the intention to return to Africa in November.
Hey! I’m Dylan, an architect from beautiful Newcastle, Australia. When I’m not designing buildings, I’m wandering the world with my partner Hasnae, originally from Barcelona. Travel is my fuel, I love discovering hidden gems and soaking up local vibes off the beaten path, chasing unique experiences rather than ticking off the tourist must sees. I thrive on meeting new people, swapping stories, and learning from different cultures. Whether you’re visiting Newcastle or anywhere else, I’d love to share good vibes, great conversations, and maybe even inspire each other along the way! Instagram: @dyltry
