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
Hi there! I am Pika and I am from Mauritius Island. If you're planning to visit Mauritius after in 2026, just send me a text :)) (I'm not available before). Hotels can be really expensive if you're on a tight budget and being a broke student, I can totally relate with that. So, don't save for hotels and spend on the food, tours, and clothes instead!

About Me
Hi sisters 🌹👑💎 My name is Amina, I’m 38, and I’m from Algeria. I am a strong believer in a world without borders so I’d love to meet up, explore, or even find a kind host during my journey. I’m planning to visit Córdoba, Málaga, Granada, and Sévilla, and I’d love to connect with locals or fellow travelers. A little about me: I work in diplomacy, love art therapy, painting, volunteering, hiking, yoga... I enjoy discovering new cultures, exploring nature, attending workshops and conferences and visiting museums and art galleries. Adventurely yours, 🥰

About Me
I am a business consultant, born in China and graduated from university in Hong Kong. Here are 3 fun facts about me: 1. During my university years, I was able to travel to 9 different countries through scholarship applications and cultural exchange programs. 2. During the period since starting my career, I have not had a stable home base, living in many cities across China. I consider this my "YOLO (You Only Live Once) plan" and have been keeping a YOLO diary, documenting my experiences in over 30 different locations in China so far. 3. I hope to live to the age of 103, as I find this world to be endlessly fascinating and would love to experience it across two centuries.
