About Me
The story behind the adventures
My Story
Hi there, I'm Emma Kowaltszky! Welcome to Emma Travel — a place where wanderlust meets real-world travel advice. What started as a personal journal to document my adventures has grown into a community of travellers who share the same passion for exploring this beautiful world.
It all began with a one-way ticket, a backpack, and the belief that the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.
Over the years I have been fortunate enough to set foot on multiple continents, sleep under unfamiliar skies, and share meals with people whose languages I could barely speak. Every destination has taught me something new — about the world, about travel, and about myself.
Today I channel all of those experiences into this blog. Whether you are planning your very first trip abroad or you are a seasoned traveller looking for fresh inspiration, I am here to help you make the most of every journey. From detailed destination guides and tried-and-tested itineraries to honest reviews and practical budget tips — everything I share comes from firsthand experience.
What I Believe In
These values shape every piece of content I create and every recommendation I make.
Authentic Experiences
I seek out genuine connections and hidden gems that let you experience a destination the way the locals do, far beyond the tourist trail.
Responsible Travel
Every journey should leave a positive footprint. I champion sustainable practices to help preserve the destinations we love for future generations.
Travel for Everyone
The world is for all of us. I create content for every budget and experience level, so nobody has to feel like travel is out of reach.
