About your author

Hey there! I’m Maria, based in Luxembourg, originally from Siberia, with several years in Cyprus along the way. This blog started as a place to share budget‑friendly travel while working full‑time. These days it has a second life: running, cycling and triathlon — the races I sign up for between trips, and the real stories behind them.

If you’re looking for destination guides, race reports, and practical tips for combining a full‑time job with travel and sport, you’re in the right place.

Follow me on Instagram for the latest snapshots from my travels, training, and races.
