The hardest country that I have been vegan so far was definitely Mongolia. I didn’t find beans, lentils, tofu, fresh produce. Next time, I‘d pack military food and orotein bars!😅🥹 #mongolia #globetrotter #backpacking #nomad #traveltheworld #budgettravel #vegan

I did a roadtrip pulled up to a hotel pretended I was a guest just to eat breakfast there and left again😭 #travel #globetrotter #backpacking #budgettravel #traveltheworld

My plan was to go to college in New York for photography and film and for 17 year old Leo this was her biggest dream! I applied as an international student and eventually got accepted at my dream university, NYU. However, funding was extremely bad and we could not afford these crazy tuitions (up to 80k / year). After sublitting my college applications January 2022 I had a few months left to travel before starting the semester. So I went solo, to central and south america. I always loved traveling and yes - I definitely was neevous and excited on that first trip but I every cell in my body knew this was the right thing. Packing my backpack and leaving didn‘t feel hard in the end. It was long anticipated, all those years during high school. Later that year I eventually decided I will pursue my creative career but without going to college. I packed my bag and headed around the world - tl the big art capitals. New York was still my dream and I ended up staying there for 3 months. Crushed it on a budget of 3000, did random litle work exchanges and stayed in creepy men‘s basement who lured me in via couchsurfing (dw, as soon as I realized they are creeps I left). Back then I still thought I was gonna stay in the city and built my life and career there. However, this curiosity inside of my towards the world eventually urged me to leave the country again, december 2022. Since then, I‘ve been traveling full time. It was then that I started social media. Now, I travel as a photojounalist and do photography and videography all around the world. Social media is to find likeminded people. I earn my money through jobs, do a lot of exchange work and also know how to travel even cheaper, now. Welcome to Leo‘s life!😃😃❤️‍🔥 #travel #nomad #backpacking #globetrotter #traveltheworld #gapyear

Besides, I just wanted to say that of course there is multiple types of travelers and they are all brave for leaving the comfort of their home and taking a step into foreign land. Traveling can be done also within your home country. The distance doesn’t usually measure the depth and challenge of a trip. People travel for all sorts of reasons and passions, and whilst the actual traveling can look VERY different from person - person, it‘s still classified as travel, i‘d say. My type of travel usually includes some extreme outdoor ir cultural adventure, in an ideal scenario. Something challenging and unique. Thats what sparks fire inside of me, at least 🔥🌟 #travel #nomad #globetrotter #backpacking #traveltheworld #budgettravel

many of you would ask me what I‘d eat on Socotra and there you go! It was a mixture of fruits, nuts, beans and rice, and my bar. I pretty much had the same food daily, except sometimes I had more / less fruit available. #travel #nomad #globetrotter #baclpacking #budgettravel #traveltheworld #socotra
