Lives in London, UK

Hi there! I'm Yulia, and I've already been living in London for two years. Not just living, but LIVING. I know every single corner of this city because it's truly worth exploring. Every weekend, I hop on my bike to discover something new, and there's always something to find. My passion for travel started 5 years ago, and by now I've visited almost every country in Europe and parts of Asia. My husband and I are huge fans of road trips, and recently we even created a platform roadriven.com where you can find and share your own road trip adventures. I'm thrilled to meet you and share the places I've fallen in love with.
