ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Noemi

Hello! I’m Noemi, a Switzerland-based adventurer with a passion for slow travel. Slow travel is my way of appreciating the subtle details that often go unnoticed. It’s about meeting locals, enjoying authentic cuisine, and embracing every moment without the rush. I’m here to share these experiences, inspire fellow travelers to explore mindfully, and celebrate the joy of a journey well savored. As a solo traveler, I’ve discovered the unique freedom and empowerment that comes with venturing out alone. I love exploring new places and finding beauty off the beaten path, whether it’s through winding forest trails, hidden villages, or along tranquil riversides. I am the type of traveler who cherishes the quiet solitude of the early morning. There's something magical about being the first one up, watching the world wake up around me. I love the sense of peace and tranquility it brings, and it sets the tone for the rest of my day.
