8 reasons why you should take a solo trip
First time I went on a solo trip was back in 2017. It started out with me planning a trip with a friend to Croatia for a long weekend. Unfortunately she had to cancel at the last minute and I couldn’t find anyone with the time and money to join me. So I was left with a choice, should I stay at home or go on my own? I decided to go anyway because I already booked my flight tickets and took time off from work. Taking this trip was a big step for me who has never traveled on my own before. I am an introvert to the core…

Mini guide to Indre by in Copenhagen, Denmark
Let’s start with the basics: Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark and one of the Scandinavian countries. It is famous for its world class restaurant Noma, Carlsberg beer, amusement parks and Scandi boutiques. The city has a relaxed feel and Danes don’t seem to be rushing anywhere or even seem stressed.

Spring fashion for a Europe trip
WITH ALL THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW the only thing that keeps me sane while in quarantine is online shopping (not necessarily buying).

I think the most important part when buying new items is quality and fit. Right now all I can think about is soft fabrics and knitted sets that are cozy to wear at home. I think we should all invest in at least…
