hello friends!

First of all, I’d like to say thanks for popping onto my blog. I’m very grateful you’re here!

My name is Viktoria, or Tori for short, and I currently reside in Queenstown (Tāhuna), New Zealand’s adventure capital, with my two kiwi-born kiddos.

I hail from the (Northern) suburbs of Chicago, where I grew up fully infatuated with the big city life. I studied Business at the University of Missouri with an emphasis in Marketing and a minor in Spanish.

My passion for travel started at a young age, although it wasn’t until June 2012 that I received my first stamp in my passport. I dove deep, spending five months wandering around India, falling in love with the backpacker lifestyle and learning to open my heart in new ways. From there I carried on traveling, spending time in Australia, Southeast Asia, Europe and South America.

In October 2015, I moved to New Zealand, where I instantly felt home. Every time I get outside or explore the land of the white cloud, I fall deeper and deeper in love with Aotearoa.

On my page, you’ll find a mix of travel stories, tips for wandering and family-related adventures. On top of blogging and sharing my love of Mother Nature through photos, I’m also a copywriter and craft beer connoisseur.
