TOURISM MEANS

For me tourism is about traveling the world and getting to know new cultures. I do not care about fancy hotels - I want to spend my time outside a building and explore the destinations. For this, I want to be able to travel to places sustainably, and with a feeling like a local. I am a hoStel lover and love the connection with likeminded in a hostel environment. (May, 2020)

Now due to the virus, I am no longer able to work and I am unsure whether I will be able to return to work in the future. (April, 2020)
