hello adventurers!


My Name is Bella!
storyteller — photographer — thrill seeker
By day, I’m a full-time biochemical engineer, passionate about science and technology. But when I’m not playing scientist in the lab, you’ll find me exploring new destinations, immersing myself in different cultures, and chasing adventures around the world! Through my travels, I aim to blend curiosity and creativity, sharing stories that inspire others to step out of their comfort zones and explore the beauty our planet has to offer. Join me as I navigate this incredible world, one flight at a time!
