A little about me and how I got here:

In my early 20s, I discovered my passion in the realm of beauty and creativity. I attended beauty school, earned my esthetician license, and immersed myself in the world of makeup artistry. It was a fulfilling chapter in my life, allowing me to dabble in makeup, photography, and video editing.

Life, however, is full of surprises, and I eventually transitioned from the beauty industry to corporate roles that paid the bills but left me creatively unfulfilled.

In 2019, I ventured into graphic design as a way to nourish my creative soul. Then, 2020 arrived, throwing a wrench into my freelance aspirations. Fear took the reins, and my creative pursuits had to take a backseat.

Yet, each job and setback became a valuable lesson, gradually building the confidence needed for what lies ahead.

During my early years, travel wasn't a regular part of my life. Moving from Eastern Europe to the United States as a child sparked a lasting dream within me to explore Europe and beyond.

The burning desire to immerse myself in different places, savor diverse cuisines, and embrace varied cultures has always been the driving force behind my adventurous spirit.

Nowadays, I'm the one with carefully planned itineraries and a bucket list of places I want to go. I find joy in exploring new places and revisiting the ones that have captured my heart.

Stepping away from my HR career to focus on growing this travel blog felt like the natural next step, where my decisions are no longer influenced by fear; I've embraced a positive outlook that leads the way.

It won't be easy, but I'm genuinely excited about the uncharted territories ahead, especially with my supportive hubby by my side.

My ultimate desire? To learn from this world, capture moments, create memories, and share them all with you.
