How Serena sees and painted me ⭐️. Through my work with Female Places, something beautiful happened: Serena noticed what I was creating. She is an illustrator and artist living not far from Pordenone in Friuli Venezia Giulia. We spent an inspiring day together in Pordenone; she showed me her favourite places, and we could have talked for hours, imagining ideas and products for .places
Some time after our meeting, Serena shared a drawing of me. Today, I feel ready to show it. In her post, she described what inspires her about Female Places and mentioned my Trieste guide for solo travellers (see link in bio) again. She understood that I did not create it to make money, but because it came from the heart.
One year after publishing my little guide, I understand even more clearly where the heart of Female Places beats: it wants to connect women with warm and welcoming hosts, to create moments where something real happens and hearts beat a little faster because of genuine connection.
Thank you, Serena, for seeing this. Thank you for the artwork and for your support until now. This gratitude is also for every woman who follows this account with her radiant heart and believes in this journey. I see you 😊
✨Wishing you a gentle transition into the new year. May it bring you places that feel safe, encounters that feel true, and moments that feel like home.
