A mindful nomad, I believe travel can take one as far within as with one’s feet. From blissfully reconnecting with nature in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru and delving deeper into history in Serbia to experimenting with local cuisine in Finland and feeling amazed at the architecture in Israel, travel has had a lasting impact on various facets of my life. When I am not dreaming of faraway lands, I am writing about their food, art, culture or sketching them in watercolour.
