ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Alexandra
Available for hire
Hi adventurous traveller! This is Isabelle, I am a young, spontaneous and adventurous backpacker(most of the time on a budget). I mostly travel by using the public transport, that is in my opinion the best way to discover a new city or country. You get to see a lot of the environment while going from place to place. It also means that I am specialized in organizing the best routes by train.
What I love the most about travelling is meeting new people. That is why I usually stay in hostels, it is a great opportunity to meet like minded travellers and it is way cheaper obviously.
I have been travelling through Europe for a while now, so I have a lot of recommendations for you!
You can also hire me to plan your next trip through Europe!
I would love to share my best experiences with you!
