Mount Rigi | The Queen of the Mountains
Mount Rigi, known as the “Queen of the Mountains,” has seduced European aristocracy for centuries. Long before cables or rails existed on its slopes, kings, poets, and illustrious figures sought refuge at its summit. The milestone that changed its history forever was the visit of Queen Victoria of Great Britain in 1868, who ascended to […]
Mount Pilatus | Lucerne’s Icon Above the City
I had just arrived to live in Lucerne when I visited Mount Pilatus for the first time. It was one of the very first attractions I explored, and it quickly became clear why this mountain is so important to the city. Pilatus is everywhere in Lucerne: in street names, local businesses, and everyday conversations. It is truly […]
Lucerne | A Living Jewelry Box Between Lake and Mountains
Lucerne holds a very special place in my heart because, when I arrived in Switzerland, it was the first city where I lived. Quite literally, from the very first moment, I felt like a princess, surrounded by medieval castles, fortifications with giant clock towers like the Musegg Wall, and wooden bridges dating back to the […]
Colombia | Between Fire, Jungle and Ancestral Wisdom
From a very young age, I have felt a strong need to search for answers and to engage in experiences that go beyond the surface.

Cambodia | Volunteering, Learning and Living from the Inside
Volunteering in Cambodia was a deeply alive experience. Through Worldpackers, I arrived at PCF School, a school where English is taught to children. From the very first day, I knew I wouldn’t just be teaching. I would be learning too, often in the most unexpected ways. My routine naturally formed around the school and community life. I […]
Thailand | Vipassana Retreats in Monasteries
A Vipassana retreat in Thailand is an experience of silence, structure, and deep observation. It’s not about escaping the world, but about learning how to be with yourself without distractions. Vipassana is a meditation technique based on direct observation. There are no visualizations, no mantras, and no analysis of thoughts. The practice focuses on observing […]
Scandinavia | Where Nature and Perfection Meet
Did you know that during the Scandinavian summer, the sun does not rise and set in a straight line? It walks sideways. Suspended in a horizontal line, almost flush with the horizon, it rotates on its own axis, bathing the land in a perpetual golden glow. For those of us from southern skies, this phenomenon […]
Morocco | A solo journey into the Sahara
Morocco was a journey of color, contrast, and intensity. I arrived in Marrakech and from the very first moment I felt I had entered a different rhythm. The markets are a sensory explosion. Spices in every color forming perfect pyramids. Saffron, cumin, turmeric. Intense aromas blending with the constant sound of voices, vendors, footsteps. Getting […]
