Hello, Hallo, Ciao, Salut + Hola!

I’m Sandra, the editor and main contributor to traveliciouslife.com.

I live to travel and I travel for a living — even in 2020/21, the years that brought travel to a halt for so many of us.

Originally launched as traveliciouslife.com to share mostly personal and family travels to Europe and beyond, this new page is more collaborative and also features guest posts from the many wonderful people who I get to meet along the way.

Don’t hesitate to leave a comment, ask a question or reach out. You can find me also on Instagram and Facebook.

Love traveling, too? Hungry for more?
