ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Daria! I grew up in sunny California but spent most of my adult life in Moscow, Russia. A few years ago, I made the leap to Amsterdam, where I’ve been soaking up the canals, culture, and gezelligheid ever since.

I’m a passionate traveler and blogger, sharing my adventures and tips along the way. So far, I’ve visited 40 countries, and my goal for the next few years is to check off every European country. One of my ultimate dreams? A bucket-list cruise through the icy wonderland of Antarctica.

When I’m not planning my next adventure, you’ll find me spending time with dogs. I’ve volunteered at shelters, and my heart belongs to my rescue pup Uma, who brings so much joy to my life.

Let’s connect! I’d love to share my adventures:
