Travelling

For the past few years i have traveled all over the world. In 2023 i traveled all of europe alone. In 2024 i went alone to work in America as a Camp counselor and once again went back in 2025, having gained myself a new job role. Travelling is apart of my life and i wont find any difficulties settling down in new places
