CURATE YOUR BEST LIFE

Geneva is a city that feels like a polished diamond. Nestled between the Jura Mountains and the Alps at the tip of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), it is a place of impeccable order, breathtaking scenery, and a level of luxury that few cities in the world can match. 🏔️ Last autumn, my spouse and I spent a few days exploring this global hub. While Geneva is famous for being a center of international diplomacy, we found that its true magic lies in its quiet lakeside parks, its winding

Munich is a city that perfectly balances "Gemütlichkeit" (that cozy, warm Bavarian feeling) with high-tech sophistication. It’s a place where you can spend your morning admiring Rubens masterpieces and your afternoon clinking liter-sized beer mugs under chestnut trees. 🍺 Last spring, my spouse and I headed to the Bavarian capital for a mix of culture and adrenaline. While the palaces and museums are stunning, the highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the electric energy of a

Sozopol is one of the oldest towns in Bulgaria, and the moment you step into its Old Town , you feel the weight of thousands of years of history. Founded by Greek colonists as Apollonia, it has evolved into a bohemian sanctuary for artists, photographers, and travelers looking for a more "authentic" seaside experience. 🎨 When my spouse and I visited, we were captivated by the contrast between the rocky cliffs of the Old Town and the wide, sandy stretches of the New Town. It

If you are looking for a destination that perfectly blends golden coastlines with lush green forests, Golden Sands  (Zlatni Pyasatsi) in Varna is the place to be. Living up to its name, this resort offers miles of ultra-fine sand and crystal-clear waters, making it the crown jewel of Bulgaria’s "Sea Capital." 🌊 Last summer, my spouse and I added Golden Sands to our Balkan itinerary, and it was exactly the refreshing escape we needed. Whether you are looking for high-energy n

Cuba is not just a destination; it is a sensory overload. It is the smell of vintage exhaust and sea salt, the sound of rhythmic son music spilling out of open windows, and the sight of pastel-colored buildings crumbling beautifully under the Caribbean sun. ☀️ When my spouse and I visited, we realized quickly that Cuba requires you to let go of your expectations. It is a place where time has slowed down, where the internet is a luxury, and where the people are the most resour

Skopje is perhaps the most eclectic city I have ever visited in the Balkans. It is a place where you can hear the call to prayer echoing through centuries-old Ottoman alleys in the morning, and spend your evening under the glow of massive, neoclassical statues in a square that feels like a film set. 🏛️ Last autumn, my spouse and I spent a few days exploring this fascinating capital. It is a city that doesn't just show you its history; it wears it proudly on every corner. Whe

Rome. The Eternal City. Few places on earth manage to blend millennia of history with the vibrant, chaotic energy of modern life quite so seamlessly. Walking through its streets is like stepping into an open-air museum where every corner reveals an emperor’s ruin or a Bernini fountain. I recently spent a week immersing myself in La Dolce Vita , and while you could spend a lifetime here, I’ve curated the perfect itinerary that ensures you hit the must-see highlights without fe

The idea of moving into a smaller space can feel overwhelming. People often fear losing their treasured possessions or feeling cramped. But as someone who recently went through the process of shedding excess square footage, I can tell you it was one of the most liberating decisions I’ve ever made. Downsizing isn't about giving things up; it's about making space for a better, more intentional life. After months of planning and execution, I’ve distilled the process down to five

Is your balcony feeling a little neglected? Often, this small outdoor space is treated as an afterthought, a place for forgotten tools or laundry. But imagine transforming it into your own private escape—a cozy spot for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply unwinding after a long day. My spouse has a knack for turning dull spaces into vibrant ones, and over the past year, they worked their magic on our tiny city balcony. Honestly, I’m amazed by the transformation! Here
