27 y/o Singaporean/French female traveler.
I started backpacking with Worldpackers in August 2020: I said goodbye to my Parisian life and bought a one-way ticket to Mexico. Since then, i've spent 7 months there, backpacked all through Central America up to Panama, lived in Manchester (UK) for a few months and now i'm back on the road again doing all remaining countries in Europe that I haven't been to before (20 left), before I head to South America.
