Welcome to Explored by Marta travel blog!

Here you’ll find practical travel guides, bucket lists, and photo spots in some of the most beautiful places across Europe and beyond.

I’m Marta, a lifelong Northern European who got tired of suffering through long, cold winters just to enjoy a few moments of warmth. 😅 So I jumped on the remote work and slow travel train and have been chasing sunny destinations for the past 5+ years.

This blog is all about helping you plan better trips with less stress and finding places that are actually worth your time. I focus on real, first-hand travel experiences from staying longer in each destination.

You’ll find a mix of well-known highlights and hidden gems, created for independent travelers who want practical, experience-based travel planning beyond the obvious tourist spots.
