My name is Claudia, I am from Cagliari, the beautiful capital of Sardinia (Italy) and I love traveling. It started when I was a child. Back then my parents would take me camping here in Sardinia, and later on we went on road trips around Italy and Europe. I loved being on the road, seeing new places, meeting new people, experiencing new cultures and challenging myself. To date, my favorite thing about traveling is meeting other people – locals, as well as other travelers, because I feel there is so much to learn from others. A solo traveler at heart, I also enjoy trips with my sister and my best friends. A former human rights lawyer, I may not agree with you, but I will always fight for your right to express your views.
TRAVEL WRITING AND TRAVEL COACHING
In November 2013 I decided it was time to live my dream rather than keep dreaming. I packed my backpack and off I was to explore Latin America. I was inspired to start my blog after a trip to Cuba, because I wanted to keep my friends and family informed about my adventures and show them the places I was visiting. Then I got a hang of it, and I kept on writing to let people dream through my travels and inspire them to live their dream, by providing guidance on places to visit and how to get there, where to sleep and eat, what great adventures they can have. I like it so much that I have made up my mind to give up my career as an academic and human rights lawyer and pursue travel coaching and travel writing as a full time project.
