From a young age, Angelina was captivated by faraway lands, spending hours lost in the pages of travel books. When the time came for her to choose a career path, tourism management felt like the right choice.

Nowadays, working as a freelance SEO specialist, she practices slow travel, staying longer in one location to truly connect with people and nature. Seeing baby reindeer, hiking by the midnight sun, and fishing in the fjord—her volunteering with Workaway in Arctic Norway was exactly how she loves to experience new places.

For 10+ years, Angelina has been using her skills and experience to create engaging content for various companies in the travel tech space. Since 2021, she's also been sharing travel insights and discoveries in her blog World-in2-Words.
