About Me

If you are drawn to travel, culture, books, and good food, you are in the right place.

I’m Ruxandra, a writer with a constant itch for exploring the world—both through my words and my travels. When I am not looking for inspiration for the next tale to tell, you may as well find me at any given coffee shop, writing and sharing my exploits.

This blog is a reflection of my two great passions: writing and travelling. You’ll find my posts available in Romanian, Spanish, and English, as I believe stories are meant to cross borders and languages.

It all began as a way to document places I visited and the books I read, but it became a space to explore how culture, ritual, and everyday beauty shape the way we live — at home and abroad. Let’s explore the world and its stories together!
