Honestly, who doesn’t want this?

I travelled to 44 countries on 6 continents. I studied in England, lived and worked in Germany, Austria, Ireland and Australia. Right now I am building a life in Colombia. I left my hometown 8 years ago and have been exploring this beautiful world since. Packing my bags and leaving my safe place behind was honestly the best decision I ever took!

Nowadays it seems like everyone wants to travel the world, discover new places, be a globetrotter or a digital nomad. But no one actually talks about how hard it is to take the first step. This goes to all travellers and those who want to be one. Trust me, it is never too late to start your own adventure.

Two Worlds

I am sure you are very familiar with the comfortable place of THE KNOWN — where you know exactly what your day will look like. You follow your well-known habits and daily routine. You are sure about your surroundings, the people you speak with and the places you go to. You have everything under control.
