My travels

I love the feeling of landing in a new city, in a country I  have never been before, and making it my home for a while. It is the special feeling of not knowing what is ahead of me, being lost, surprised and anxious to understand the place – to make new friends, find somewhere to stay and somewhere to hang out, appreciate local customs and start feeling comfortable there.

Then you wake up in the morning not knowing what to do that day because you’ve already done all the touristy stuff, call a local friend and make some plans together. This is when you really start learning about the place.

I have been fortunate enough to have travelled to over 40 countries already. The yellow pins are where I have already been, the blue pins with white stars are my favourite spots and the green pins are where I am planning to go soon.
