About Selma

I’ve always loved traveling and exploring new cultures, trying to capture the essence of each place. When the world reopened, my husband Paolo and I couldn’t wait to dive back into adventure. In October 2023, we packed our essentials—clothes, tech, and an unstoppable thirst for discovery—and set off on the journey of a lifetime: We did South India for 3 months, Sri Lanka 1 month, then returned to North India for another 3 months, and then one month each in Thailand, Malaysia, Okinawa.

Next up: Borneo and Indonesia before (maybe) heading back to Milan in September. Stay tuned for more incredible photos!
