Ciao! I’m Verena, the face behind Verena Ventures! Delving into code as a software engineer by day, and venturing to new cities whenever opportunity arises, here I am, integrating my affinity for technology with my passion for exploring.
Now a bit about myself: I'm 100% Egyptian, born in North Carolina, raised in New Jersey, and currently residing in New York City. I absolutely love exploring fun cocktail bars and searching for the latest and greatest restaurants. Fun fact: According to OpenTable, it would take over 77 years for someone to try every restaurant in NYC!
About 6 years ago, I found myself fueled by an insatiable curiosity that pushed me out of my comfort zone, and led me to exploring cities near and far. Each trip after the next left me with an unexplainable high that kept me searching for my next adventure.
From bustling cities to tranquil countrysides, I've roamed around, seeking out new experiences and creating unforgettable memories. Whether it's sipping espresso in a quaint Italian café, hiking over the rocky volcanoes of Central America, or laying on the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean. Each destination has left a permanent imprint in my mind.
To bring it all home, I’m using this blog to pull together all my scattered research, experiences, and unforgettable memories to paint a picture of my travels. Whether you're seeking travel tips, inspiration for your next journey, or simply a virtual escape, I hope my recommendations and ventures leave you inspired in one way or another!
So, grab your passport and let’s go!
