About Me

instagram.com/intothedreams

As a kid, in the summertime we travelled to a small coastal town which is between the mountains. My family found a little beautiful beach where people can camp, park their caravan and enjoy the nature. We pitched our tent and camped there for two weeks with other people who have caravan. I remember that I watched the caravans for hours and thought how amazing they were. I dreamed where they go next. To me, they never seemed to stop travelling. I think that's why I was fascinated. Well, one day we went home back.

As I grow up, every single time when I go hiking, camping, biking, climbing, fishing, I mean every single time when I'm in the nature, I realized that I belong to nature. And I just understood that I'm happy when I'm in the nature far from society. To take my backpack and travel to amazing hidden places in the nature which nobody knows became the thing which makes me who I am. And I just decided that it would be the best way to travel far with your own home. I mean with the caravan... like those people who were at the beach with us.

So it became my dream. Hoping to own my van some day! Until then, I will keep discover places and take the adventures as they come! :)

I studied literature and culture and after 3 countries, 4 universities and countless experiences, I, finally, graduated. For my dissertation, I examined sublime in nature in American landscape paintings which, I think, was a great conclusion that was inspired from my love of nature and art, filtered through my experiences of travelling that allowed me to develop the vision. Currently, I am taking my time to relax before I commit a big life change!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting down on very edge of a super high cliff. It is the craziest thing if you have a fear of heights.

At a dark night with full of stars, skinny dipping in a wild sea full of blue sparkling planktons that looked like mirror of the sky.

Swimming long distance in a sea just to see what's inside a cool looking cave. (Turned out there wasn't much to see except for some sharps rocks but the swim was epic anyway!)
