Violeta's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

Violeta

Travel is one of my passions. In March 2005, I quit the corporate life and never looked back. I’m on a mission to show you the world through words and images. The purpose of my articles is to empower smart people to travel in their own style, rather than choosing "ready-made" or all-inclusive vacations. The best way to feel a place is by designing your own experience. I enjoy sharing my travel stories as much as I enjoyed living them. My home base is in Bucharest, Romania, but I’ve also lived in Crete, Greece, and in Algarve, Portugal. I write about the world as I’ve seen it. Now it's your turn to create your path and follow it.
