Hello my name is Shania (: Having been born in Cape Town, South Africa but raised in the Alps in Interlaken, Switzerland, I developed a special talent for organised Chaos. If writing intricate lists, so you won’t miss anything on your travels, whilst also loving spontaneous adventures and the sheer chaos and excitement of backpacking on a budget, sounds like you, you might have just found a kindred spirit. I have been travelling all my life, but started backpacking full-time when I was only 18. Originally I was planning on only doing one Gap-Year before continuing my Neuroscience, Business and Entrepreneurship studies in Switzerland, but whilst I still am a student, I never put my backpack and Camera back down again. So if you have been dreaming about your Gap-Year or another trip for ages and want to make the absolute most of your time, have been conflicted between ambitions and your desire to explore or have been discouraged to go travelling because of your age, these are all things we have in common and Id love to help you with! I’d love hearing from you (:
