About me — Dominika Antonas
Just an average human on a quest for memorable life
In short
I can’t live without adventure, change, nature, books (trying to get used to kindle for practical reasons, so far without notable success), and a good challenge now and then. And of course, writing.
Longer version
I craved adventure ever since I can remember
From the time I was legally allowed to, I had planned my own travels around Europe within my own financial abilities. After my first year of college, I left for the US within a week of the decision to travel. Eventually, I ended up moving there long-term to be with my now-husband and continue my studies.
The longing for change arrived soon enough
With time, I realized that life in a big American city is not as fulfilling as it may seem. The older I got and the more I studied, the less sense it made to me to have a job for the sake of working and building a resume, while endlessly sacrificing the things and activities that really fulfill me as a human being. Not to mention trying to make up for it by accumulating material wealth, which went strongly against my aspiring-minimalist side.
Moving on…
