Solo travel

I started my journey in Kenya in Mombasa, then flew to Rwanda and took a gorilla trekking trip, then travelled overland and stayed overnight in Rwanda, Uganda, until I returned back to Kenya. Then I flew to South Africa and travelled along the coast of Cape Town, Hermanus, Simons Town, Gansbaai and Stellenbosch. It was the trip of a lifetime.

About Me

Hello! I’m Teo, a university student currently studying architecture in Valencia. I am specifically interested in the development of human-scale infrastructure in city planning, such as bike lanes, public transit, and green spaces. I love to go outside, go biking, bouldering, walking I also love to craft (sewing, collaging, pottery, etc.) and I’m a big believer in sustainable fashion. I like to meet new people in my travels as I always find it nicer to explore new things in the company of others. Show me your city!
