About me

Since I was a kid, I became fond of writing stories and poems. This passion followed me through the years. I had all the necessary assets to grow more and more curious, ambitious and bold, so I decided to go to the Faculty of Journalism. Then I continued my studies in Communication Sciences in Spain. Coincidentally or not, Madrid has become a second home for me, and Spain – the country of my soul.
My other big passion is travelling. And by this I mean not just the fact of going on a holiday, but also doing my best to learn, interact with people and cultures, visit museums, get lost on some city’s streets. I like to make plans like a real traveler. I like to visit also “non-touristic” places. Besides, I am always curious to try the food recommended by locals, and that is why I always try to avoid to eat at a touristic restaurant in the center. I love to travel „in depth”. I love to catch on camera every moment that stands out, being able to return from a one week tour with 5000+ frames of the piece of world I visit.
For me, travelling has become a lifestyle. An enriching experience that changes me forever with every country visited, every city explored, every objective learned, and every step walked into a new place. I grow on the inside, I see new horizons and I become better with every trip.
As you probably know, it’s not that easy to travel when you are a girl (especially if you want to travel alone), when you have a job and just 21 days of holiday per year. Also, trips aren’t free, unfortunately – says the passionate traveller in me. So, even if I travelled a lot, I know that it’s not enough. And, most probably, it never will be.
