Hey, I’m Carmen!
I am a girl from Romania who’s always had a bit of wanderlust in her veins. I’m not just another traveler—I’m the kind who’s more likely to be found hiking up a mountain or snapping photos of a hidden gem rather than lounging at a luxury hotel. My passion for exploring the world has taken me to some pretty wild places, and along the way, I discovered something amazing: my love for photography.
Why Am I Here?
Simple. I want to share the beautiful places I’ve been and, hopefully, inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and discover the world, too. Trust me, you don’t need a fancy hotel or a platinum credit card to have an incredible adventure. All you need is a little courage, a love for nature, and a willingness to embrace the unexpected.

How I Started Traveling?
Blame my dad! He used to travel a lot for work and brought back all these awesome photos and brochures. Little me spent hours imagining myself in those faraway places. Fast forward to my late 30s, and here I am, living that dream. I started small, traveling on holidays, but now? I’m completely hooked, and it’s turned into a full-blown passion for exploring the world!
My Travel Favorites
What’s My Favorite Destination? So far, it’s Indonesia, hands down! It’s my fourth visit, and I’m still in awe of the stunning nature—the mountains, volcanoes, beaches, all pure paradise! But who knows, maybe another destination will surprise me!
What’s My Most Memorable Hike? Lobuche East (6119m), Nepal. Climbing while battling altitude sickness wasn’t easy—my body was telling me to stop, but my heart said keep going. Reaching the summit through the struggle was an incredible triumph!
My Travel Dreams
Island Life? Yes, please! I’m still on the lookout for the island that will steal my heart, but until then, I’ll keep exploring. The dream is to live on a beach with mountains in the backdrop—paradise found.
What’s Next on My Bucket List?
A little bit of everything! More hiking, more island hopping, and continuing my search for the perfect island home.
