HEY, I'm Daniela, 32 Italian girl living in Brussels, Belgium
I am super curious and love to talk to people about their ideas, cultures, traditions and how it is to live in their own countries (or countries where they relocated).I am an adventurous person, whom usually goes solo travels in remote places or deep into cities.

I used to work for VICE Media in Denmark, for which I now occasionally freelance covering food, music and culture. I'm also working as a freelance music/event photographer and managing European Institution's social media accounts.
