What makes my travel content unique

  • I’ve traveled full-time since 2016, speak 5 languages, and often spend longer in a place than a “typical tourist”. I’ve spent months in many of the countries featured and traveled within them a lot. Some of them I return to regularly!

 

  • While some are more about places looking good in photos, I’m more about the reality. My content is centered around people, places, experiences, lifestyles, perspectives, and cultures. I always want to give you a realistic idea of what it is.

 

  • Wherever I go, I always invest time in understanding the place and exploring in a similar way as the locals. Often in collaboration with contacts and friends from the area. While I’ll visit the main attractions, I’ll always look for places and experiences outside of the mainstream – that will help you understand what really makes it special!

Hi there

I’m Samira

An entrepreneur, marketer, writer, and full-time traveler.

I help destinations and brands within hospitality, lifestyle, and the future of work improve and grow. From identifying the right audience and creating irresistible offers in collaboration with local entrepreneurs to developing sustainable communities where locals and digital nomads/travelers can connect, to specific marketing campaigns.

Always with a focus on strategies that support local communities.

I can’t imagine any greater level of freedom than to be based wherever you want, whenever you want, doing something you really enjoy. Therefore I also help people who would like to design an intentional, location-independent lifestyle to get there with resources.

So far, I’ve visited 50+ countries across all continents, while helping some of the biggest hospitality- and lifestyle brands in the world, as well as smaller start-ups. I’ve inspired thousands of people to experience and live more – and this is only the beginning.
