Hi, I’m Simon
A 50+ woman young at heart with a passion for travel and photography.
I’ve been traveling solo for over 20 years, nurturing my attraction for nature and wilderness, and my love of art and culture. I never stop exploring Italy, my native country, and Switzerland will always be the place I call home. But I love the world, and every country taught me something.
Faraway or nearby, the world is a beautiful place.
