About me

About me

I'm a final-year secondary school student. In my free time I run and race seriously. I can also eat a lot. Whenever I can, I hit the road: I love hitchhiking, spontaneous trips and discovering new cultures, and I'm a big supporter of really low-budget travel. I'm fascinated by how countries build their infrastructure, how transport networks work – and by maps.
