Travel is my superpower. My addiction. My secret weapon.

As a child, traveling was very limited in a communist country. As an adult, traveling broke new grounds and broadened perspectives.

My Eastern European background taught me to live well, but humble. I love exploring as much as possible (and in depth), but for me, it is important to keep a balance between cost and expenses. That is, to travel smart.

I was a very artistic child; loved drawing and learning about art. I remember watching mesmerized pages of art books, trying then to reproduce a portrait or a painting. I pursued a more rational career, but my artistic DNA is still there: I am in love with art and buildings.
