I grew up in the Dolomites (Italy). I also lived in Slovakia, Germany and Switzerland.

Since 2019, I live in Norway in a small town in the Arctic called Honningsvåg, which is close to the Northernmost point of Europe - the North Cape (71°N). Someday in the future, I hope to move to a sunnier place; you can imagine that It’s not so easy to live with two months of darkness in the winter!

You can read more about my life in the Arctic in this post.

To book flights I use Skyscanner and for accommodations Booking.com. To know more about how I plan my trip, check this page.

I visited 28 countries & 6 continents. I don’t like to focus on numbers, I rather spend a long time in a few places, to dive deeper into the culture. I don’t need to explore the whole world to feel fulfilled, I am more interested in remote and authentic locations where no one goes.

My gear is pretty simple because I prefer to travel light. I always use my action camera to take videos and pictures. My latest investment is a drone, that I can’t wait to use so that I can have different perspectives of the landscape. You can check here my full travel kit.

(This is probably the question that I get most often!) I have been working in the tourism industry for 6 years. I was a hotel waitress, receptionist, and tour guide. I save during the season as much as I can, and I spend my income mostly on travelling. You don’t need a big amount of money to travel, it all depends on your priorities. I rather not spend on parties and alcohol, so that I can save up my salary for exploring the world!

Generally, I ‘‘only’’ travel 2 months per year, and I visit 2 to 3 countries, which is not enough for me! My ultimate goal would be to work remotely as a content creator, so that I can travel full-time and work on something that I really enjoy — this is probably the lifestyle that would fit me the most!

My future travels will be to South Africa, Namibia and the Island of Reunion.

I always travelled alone, until this year, when my boyfriend joined me on my adventure to Colombia and Ecuador. I love travelling alone, you learn a lot about yourself and it’s healthy to step out of your comfort zone and explore new cultures! I am very shy, and travelling by myself, always helps me to go out of my shell.

However, when you travel with someone that has the same values and style of travelling, it´s truly amazing! There’s nothing better than sharing happy moments with someone.

At the beginning of a trip, I feel a bit afraid and disoriented, but after some days, I start to be excited. If you use your common sense, it’s not dangerous to be a solo female traveller. I follow very simple rules:

• I never go out by myself during the night in a place that I don’t know

• I always check my glass if I go clubbing!

• If I am alone camping, or hiking in a remote place, I share my location with a friend.

Luckily, I never had a bad experience while travelling. The only place where I felt less safe, was in Quito (Ecuador) because I always had to watch out.

The only dangerous situation I had, was when I almost drowned in the Ocean in West Papua, because I was surrounded by jellyfish and I got a panic attack in the water.

After I travel, I always get surprised by how people are genuinely kind and friendly, especially in locations that are considered less safe by the media. People that don’t travel, always tend to exaggerate how dangerous some countries are, but only because they believe in stereotypes and they are afraid of differences.

I would like to become a full-time traveller and explore as many places as I can.

Do things that I really enjoy and that I believe in.
