About Me

Among my passions are traveling, cycling, hiking, climbing, via ferrata, skydiving, and simply wandering ❤️.

I’ve always loved the mountains. Every weekend, before I started traveling full time, I used to go hiking in Romania. I’ve explored many of our most beautiful peaks, and I even have a YouTube channel where I share drone footage from the Carpathians. Later, I continued exploring mountains in Greece and Bulgaria – and I still have more plans than I could ever fit here.

Most of the countries I visited by bicycle 🚴‍♀️ and some only by foot ( 2000 km 👣 in France, Spain and Portugal)

Some of my cycling adventures 🚴‍♀️ in Europe:

🚲 2021: Romania – Bulgaria – Greece (1,400 km -14 days )

🚲 2022: Romania – Serbia – Croatia – Slovenia – Italy – Hungary (1,600 km )

🚲 2023: Hungary – Slovakia – Austria – Germany – Czech Republic (1,600 km)

🚲 2024: Germany – Netherlands – Belgium – France – Luxembourg – Switzerland (1,700 km 17 days )

In June 2024, I quit my job as a software engineer 💻 (after 20 years!) to embrace a new chapter of freedom and exploration 👣🎒.

I started by walking 2,000 km across Europe on foot 👣. A week later, I flew to Nepal with my boyfriend and together we did the Everest Base Camp & Three Passes trek ⛰️– 17 days in the Himalayas, reaching over 5,500 m several times. After that, I continued traveling solo 👣.

🌍 Countries I’ve been solo traveled through in the last year:

🇳🇵Nepal (1 month)

🇹🇭 Thailand (4 months in total)

🇱🇦 Laos (1 month) – started hitchhiking here!

🇻🇳 Vietnam (1 month) – hitchhiked from the Bo Y Border all the way up to Sa Pa, stopping in Pleiku, Hoi An, Da Nang, Hanoi and more and back to Ho Chi Minh City and Cambodgian border ( all hitchiking)

🇰🇭 Cambodia (1 month)

,🇲🇾 Malaysia (2 months)

🇮🇩 Indonesia (1 month)

Most of my journey has been by hitchhiking 🛣️ and walking 👣. I crossed Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Bali this way. Locals were always kind, and I’ve collected countless amazing stories and friendships.

I also share parts of my journey on my Facebook page and YouTube channel – Just Keep Wandering.

At the moment I’m not in Bucharest, and I don’t know when I’ll return home 🥰😊. The road keeps calling me forward.
