Travel style
I believe travel can be transformative. My enthusiasm for cultural immersion, food and history knows no limits, and my insatiable curiosity led me to quit my job and travel around Europe for nearly half a year. Most of my own travels are solo budget trips, but I love curating personalized itineraries for any budget and travel style. I love combining off-the-beaten-path destinations and experiences with some can’t-miss attractions.
