Hi, I’m Pauline, born and raised in Luxembourg, a very small country with a strong pull to see what’s beyond its borders.

This is a place for stories that connect: people, cultures and places seen through curiosity, with travel that goes deeper than the highlights.

Languages and cultures have been my passion from the start.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in German and Spanish Linguistics and Literature, and two Master’s degrees, one in Intercultural Communication and one in European Studies (bookworm alarm!).

I’m a bit of a language nerd, currently learning my 9th language.

My work sits where travel, storytelling and cross-cultural communication meet.

At 18, I moved abroad to study, like so many people from Luxembourg.

After living in seven cities across three countries (Brussels, Passau, Málaga, Madrid, Seville, Tenerife and Barcelona) over several years, I was ready to move back home.

But before getting “serious” and going back to Luxembourg, I wanted to do something crazy.

That is how I ended up hitchhiking by boat from the Canary Islands to Cape Verde and across the Atlantic to Barbados.

In 2020, I had already left my job at a ministry to follow my passion for writing, documenting and filming.

In January 2020, I took the leap into full-time travel and voluntary work on Maio, Cape Verde.

What was meant to be a short stay turned into more than a year, long enough to write in-depth guides about Cape Verde. From there, the road led to Dubai, and later to communication work for Expo 2020 Dubai and Expo 2025 Osaka.

Over time, I realized that I love staying longer in one place.

The friendships and connections you make on the road will make you feel at home.

A feeling that you’ll sometimes miss when you’re constantly on the road.

Travel is the largest classroom, and I see it as a form of intercultural exchange.

It’s a constant learning and exchange process that will teach you remarkable lessons about yourself and our beautiful world.

How it changed

For a long time, this was a travel blog about places and tips.

Then life changed it.

Losing my sister, my mother, and more recently my fiancé Saif, who was from Iraq, brought me closer to what really matters, and to stories that really resonate with my heart.

I decided to follow that calling of the heart.

What I do now

I create travel stories and videos about people, culture and connection, and I work as a cross-cultural communication and storytelling advisor.

Through my work as an independent consultant, I help brands and organisations speak across cultures and languages.

Why I create

20250601 062322 - ABOUT

So much of what we see online is made to divide us.

I want to do the opposite: create content that makes us curious about each other and inspires us to meet each other.

Travel is the largest classroom, and I see it as a form of intercultural exchange. It teaches you remarkable things about yourself and about our beautiful world.

Let’s work together

From travel stories to cross-cultural communication, there are many ways to work together. See past collaborations and find the one that fits you: Work with me →
