Author: Giulia Dal Pont
Giulia grew up in a small village in the Italian Alps, and very soon discovered a passion for foreign languages and travelling. Even though she studied translation and cultural economics, she ended up working in a small travel agency in Budapest.

She loves sleeping in the sun, watching TV series, buying books, and planning the next adventures abroad.
