About us

What to say about us? When I started to write on this blog, it was about me and we become ‘us’, because now my husband also loves to collaborate and write for it. 

From a very young age, I’ve always had a deep curiosity to explore distant lands, a passion that eventually led me to live abroad. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of discovering different cities, cultures, and traditions. I have become an avid language enthusiast, and I’m proud to speak Spanish, English, French, and Italian. Recently, we’ve taken on the challenge of learning German. I believe that being able to communicate easily with locals is key to understanding their culture more intimately and fully immersing oneself in their way of life.

I met my husband more than fifteen years ago, and at that time, he was more on the sedentary side of things. However, since then, he has transformed into a true adventurer by my side. Together, we have explored countless destinations, both near and far. We have discovered not only new places but also parts of ourselves that we never knew existed. Every journey we embark on is a learning experience that continuously surprises and enriches us.

Throughout our travels, we’ve experienced a wide variety of trips—some austere and minimalistic, others luxurious; some spent with family, others with friends. From bustling cities and dense jungles to tranquil beaches and towering mountains, each trip has brought us a different lesson. Yet, one thing remains constant: traveling offers an opportunity to discover not only new places and cultures but, more importantly, a chance to rediscover ourselves. It gives us a fresh perspective on the world and our lives, reshaping how we see everything from the people around us to our personal goals and aspirations.

We are not the type of travelers who focus on ticking off a list of countries. We don’t have an obsession with visiting 80 countries in a single year. Instead, we are simply passionate about the act of traveling itself—the process of discovering new places, whether they are well-known tourist spots or hidden gems off the beaten path. We’re not particularly young anymore, perhaps more in the middle-age category, but far from being old, and certainly not outdated (by the way, a lady’s age is not a question to ask!). We aren’t the adventurous souls who have dropped everything to wander the world with nothing but a backpack either. Like many others, we have our responsibilities and commitments.

We are natural-born entrepreneurs, and for us, travel is an essential source of inspiration, especially when creativity feels like it’s running low. It rejuvenates our minds, sparks new ideas, and helps us see the world through fresh eyes. In addition, travel is not just about work and inspiration—it also serves as our time for rest and renewal. It allows us to disconnect from the daily grind and recharge our energy, so we can return to our projects with newfound vigor and creativity.

This blog has provided the perfect platform to combine my technical expertise with my deep love for design, art, and creation. It has allowed me to express my passion for travel and share it with others who feel the same way. There is a beautiful Greek-origin Japanese word that we have learned, and it perfectly encapsulates what we do with this blog: Meraki. It means to do something with soul, creativity, and love, and that’s exactly how we approach everything we create and share here.

Ultimately, we are probably quite like you—curious individuals who appreciate the cultures of the world and can’t stand being in one place for too long. For us, the joy of travel is endless, and we look forward to continuing our adventures, both big and small, discovering new places and aspects of ourselves along the way.
