Hello!
I’m Arianna
Welcome to Life, Travel & Asia: your gateway to the authentic soul of Asia!
In 2019, I called Xi’an and China my home for over a year. I explored the vibrant cities of Shanghai and Beijing. Yet, it was the remote beauty of the Gansu province and Guilin that truly captured my heart.
After returning to China in 2024 and a life-changing trip to Bali, I am planning to move back to Asia to deepen my connection to this part of the world where I truly belong.
Here, I share travel inspiration, helpful guides, and experiences that will show you the authentic side of my favorite corner of the world… Asia!
