Deep Travel, Real Stories – From Europe & Beyond
Honest travel guides, slow itineraries, and stories of remote life – centered on Europe with occasional journeys further afield that shaped me most.
Who’s Behind Road is Calling?
Hi! I’m Anya, originally from Ukraine, now splitting my time between Spain and Estonia.
Over the years, I’ve lived in several countries, including the United States and Turkey, before finding a rhythm between life in northern and southern Europe.
This blog is where I share everything I’ve learned: slow travel itineraries, personal insights from life abroad, and honest tips to help you travel deeper.
Curious what’s inside?

These are more than places I’ve just visited – I’ve lived in them (or live right now), return to them often, and explore them far beyond the usual routes
