About me

About me
My name is Mihaela and I have spent 25 years of my life in Chisinau. My professional experience so far is in Project Management, and luckily this allows me to feed my passion for travel.

I am a curious person, so travelling is always about discovering and learning something new. Interestingly, the more I visit other cities, the more curious I become about my hometown, which is not easy to love. But I have understood that I do love Chisinau, as, when traveling, I always get to the point when I miss it, a feeling which always takes me back home.

Why Chisinau
Chisinau is one of the less-visited capital cities that I know of. Seeing tourists around the city is still an impressive encounter, which is a pity.

Although I do understand Chisinau does not really compare with other cities that can impress when it comes to architecture, sites and some unique experiences, I still believe visiting my city can be a great experience under good guidance. I have my favorite spots in Chisinau and would love to share my impressions with whoever is interested in making their experience in Chisinau more memorable.

Where else can you find me online?
