About

As a professional communicator, I feel I don’t have enough space to be who I am, to feel what I feel and say what I want to say, the way I want to say it. When writing is a profession, we often have to work on ourselves, too, to transform our thoughts and creativity to give life to image which is not necessarily our own. I struggled with that.

For me, writing is how I am, what I feel and I should be able to live it like that. It is an extension of me and certainly an inner expression to the outside which should represent me.

This blog is me claiming a private space in which my writing is my own, raw, pure, unbiased, unpolluted, non-influential. It’s me, being read as me – I needed that.

It’s a journey I invite you on, as I explore and doubt many communication topics that have drawn my attention or touched a chord. Let’s begin!

Hello,

I’m Silvia

Explorer of the Everyday started out as a travel journal (on paper). I was very lucky to see some very special places at one point in time, and as I was opening my eyes to them, I felt the need to record as much as I possibly could. I didn’t want to forget any of it. So I wrote down what I saw, whom I met, how travel and discovery made me feel, took pictures with a heavy camera strapped around my neck (no iPhone then) – and the journal turned into a blog.

My stories have always been just that: personal experiences in different places of the Globe that were sometimes funny or awkward or scary enough to share and yes, incite one to travel and embrace the unknown, as well. I am an influencer in that way, writing stories, not lists, to keep the flavour of where I have been and pass it on.

If you’re happy following me on my journeys (whatever form they may take in the future) and if you enjoy my writing, hop onboard. Maybe there’s something for you to discover and get inspired about. Feel free to comment!
