Born in a small town with little scope to go anywhere, I grew up eager and ready for metamorphosis, to travel.
​
Traveling is meaningful for me in more than one way, it is a way of escaping the 'here', get to know the unknown, exotic, to widen my ideas and imagination and let them flow, dance and fly.
​
Travel is an intensely personal experience as well, for me: I don't follow bucket lists - that sounds ridiculous to me. I pick and choose my own experiences instead, create my own tiny pockets of memories and avoid the popular as much as I can. I also despise the fakery of social media. I seek what provokes me personally, take time, soak up the tastes and smells, sights, feelings and experiences..
​
The stories are travel guides, written here are just snippets of experiences, not necessarily in any sequence, it is not about everything I saw and did, who cares about it anyway? I don't! I write only about those memories of significance, for me, disjointed they may seem, they are meaningful for me personally.
