Travel style

I'm passionate about solo travel, working remotely, discovering dog-friendly destinations, and visiting all kinds of museums. You can often find me exploring a new city with a long run before diving in deeper. I strive to strike a balance between budget and boutique, ensuring the best value without compromising on comfort or design details. Prior to visiting a new place, I enjoy immersing myself in its history, and I have a keen interest in uncovering hidden gems off the typical tourist path. Connecting with local cultures over a beer and indulging in delicious food is always a priority for me. Feel free to ask me anything about these topics—I'm eager to share my insights and recommendations.
