“To Travel is to Live” – Hans Christian Andersen

Hi guys! My name is Lina Kawas and I am a passionate traveller and photographer having travelled for over 15 years to more than 65 countries!

Welcome to my blog where I share my travel stories, useful tips and my photography from all over the world. I want you to find some inspiration in exploring amazing places and seeing animals where they belong...in the wild!

Why the interest in nature and wildlife?

I was born and raised in the beautiful capital city of Austria: Vienna and even though the city has a lot to offer, especially culture-wise there was one thing missing...the ocean! I have always been fascinated by the ocean, marine mammals and beautiful coast lines. 

How do I afford to travel?

I have been broke more than once in my life, but having a passion means finding a way to keep going. I have lived and worked in several countries with student visas or work and travel visas, have worked on cruise ships and usually travel low budget.
