Meet Milena

I found myself in Wonderland... Well, I often tell myself that, because during my travels I've come to realize how beautiful the world is and how extraordinary are the ordinary moments.

Read My Story

Balanced,
and Not Complicated

It's the privilege of a lifetime – to become who you truly are. To see the world, and to feel. So that, at the end of your life, you can say: Non, je ne regrette rien.

Some time ago, I finally took a leap of faith, left my soul-destroying, full-time job, and wrapped everything in a wish to slow down. But over time, I realized I confused calm for stillness. And that doesn’t bring me joy either.

It turned out that balance is the answer.

A touch of organized simplicity and a lot of creative mess.
A few days in the city and plenty of time in nature.
A quiet chez-moi, a lot of adventurous travel far from home.
A little solitude to get work done, and plenty of time with cheerful friends all over the world. Perfetto!
