Hello! I'm Marta and I've lived in Bristol for almost 5 years now. I have just graduated in Illustration and would love to explore more places and get into hiking!

At the moment I'm trying to live life more simply and refocus on what's most important to me. I love creating and writing, as well as spending time with my friends.

"In fact, my soul and yours are the same, You appear in me, I in you, We hide in each other."
- Rumi
