Hey there, I'm Pedro from the beautiful Madeira Island. Traveling is my lifeblood, and there's nothing I enjoy more than backpacking to new places, seeking adventures, and making connections along the way. I've wandered through many European countries and braved the icy roads of Iceland in winter. My latest escapade was a thrilling 3-month journey across Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. It's on these journeys that I've realized how sharing stories and experiences can truly amplify the excitement of travel. That's why I've joined this platform, eager to exchange tales and tips with fellow wanderers. Let's share our journeys and make our travels even more memorable together!
In selecting hostels, I prioritize a good balance between cost and quality, aiming for accommodations that are neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. I prefer hostels with a rating above 9 on Booking.com whenever possible, planning for stays in mixed dorms. For those with specific requests, I'm happy to accommodate within the same property for an additional fee. Some destinations will involve camping in secure areas. Guests are welcome to bring their own tents and sleeping bags, though rentals are available for a fee. For the Kilimanjaro segment, using your own camping gear can help reduce costs. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!
