Mikael | 23 years old | Explorer of Cultures and Nature

Production Engineer by profession, but a traveler and explorer at heart. Always seeking new cultures, challenging trails, and great stories to share. I believe the best way to live is by simplifying and connecting with people from different parts of the world. If you’re also into a good conversation about travel, culture, or even the last epic trail I did, I’d be happy to share a coffee or a walk. 🌍☕🌱

Hobbies: hiking, running, outdoor photography, and of course, learning from every new experience!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love anything that makes me feel the moment, whether it’s a good tune to relax or one that pumps me up before a run.

Movies: I’m a fan of films that make you think—I enjoy a good drama or documentary that broadens perspectives. But I also appreciate epic adventures and light-hearted movies to unwind.

Books: I always have a book in my backpack, from inspiring biographies to adventure classics and travel books. Anything that gives me a new way of seeing the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve hiked incredible trails in Brazil and am always on the lookout for the next outdoor challenge. What fascinates me most in each journey are the people and their stories. I’ve gotten lost on trails (and found myself in conversations) and learned that the world is so much more than the destinations—it’s about the connections our make along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching
I believe teaching is about sharing not just knowledge but experiences. I enjoy passing on what I’ve learned from my travels and challenges, inspiring others to see the world with fresh eyes.

Learning
Always curious, I view every interaction as a learning opportunity. For me, traveling is the best way to discover new cultures, perspectives, and continue growing.

Sharing
Sharing is what connects us. I love to exchange stories, lessons, and moments, always believing that these exchanges are what truly enrich our lives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with hosts my travel stories, experiences on hiking trails, and outdoor adventures. I enjoy discussing my thoughts on simple living and connecting with nature, as well as having great conversations about music, movies, and books. I can also offer practical tips on organization and productivity, and of course, I’m always eager to learn and exchange experiences!
