About me
Hi there! I’m Petra, the person behind this blog.
I come from Slovenia, a small chicken-shaped European country, and still believe in dragons and goodness. I’m a mechanical engineer by choice and a passionate traveller by nature, so I’m always travelling to new places and trying out new ideas.
I want to inspire you (and myself) to be both more spontaneous and more consciously slow – to explore more, both abroad and at home, to discover new favourite places, books and recipes, to examine new perspectives and consider your impact on the world while you do it.
