Anu Juhken
Hey! I grew up in a small village in Estonia, therefore I'm a total country girl. Whenever I feel weary and worn or just need to clear my mind, nature feeds my soul the best - be it a walk, a hike, or some gardening - nature is my medicine.
I love exploring new places and cultures, tasting new flavors, and feeling new scents. When traveling, I like to see authentic local life.
How did you get involved in travel?
"When I was 18 I went for an exchange year to Ecuador. Oh boy was that an experience! In Ecuador, I instantly fell in love with the mountains, the rainforest, lush nature, and the ocean! I was mesmerized and admired those views endlessly. As Estonia is flat land, I couldn't help but think "I landed on the wrong land when I was born ". Since returning from my exchange year, I have had an insane calling to be where I'm not."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Galapagos Islands! Everything there is unique, words are not enough to describe this place. But also an 8-day backpacking trip with friends in Sicily. We spent one night on a beautiful lagoon - it was a full moon night, mountains all around us, city lights shimmering in the distance, we had some candles with us and lots of good food - the most beautiful picnic I have ever had! As we had to spend the night on the sand under the bare sky, we dug our most valuable things under the sand, just in case :) "
