Meet Me At Lifestyle Crossroads
Thank you for stopping by, and welcome to At Lifestyle Crossroads – a blog born from my continuous travels across Spain.
I’m Anna, a passionate world traveler and visual storyteller from Odessa, Ukraine. I initially moved to Spain temporarily for a master’s degree program, but I’ve ended up living as an expat on the Iberian Peninsula for the past 15 years.
My first visit to Spain was in 2006, and it sparked in me a deep interest in the local culture, language, and history. While I never thought I would one day call it home, Spain left a lasting impression on me and unexpectedly became my greatest passion.
After moving here for just a year, a twist of fate led me to start dating my now-Spanish husband. Yet, it wouldn’t be entirely true to say that I decided to stay in Spain solely because of the relationship – everything started falling into place in a way that made me feel like I truly belonged here.
Being married to a Spaniard gave me an insider’s view of life in Spain – so much so that my surrounding became too immersed in Spanish culture. Eventually, I found myself missing the international friendships I had cherished throughout my life. At the same time, my passion for discovering new places in Spain continued to grow. So, starting a blog felt like the perfect way to share insider tips while connecting with new people from around the world.
These days, At Lifestyle Crossroads is a personal travel blog focused on Spanish travels, where I share countless tips, itineraries, and hidden gems based on my own non-stop adventures.
As I was often surprised by the content on Spain I found online, disagreeing with what many travel publications had to say – sharing my personal view of Spain felt important. While the blog started as a hobby, it has become an essential part of my life. Traveling across Spain is now a full-time job for me. Having visited every single province and major city in Spain, including the islands, I’m now on the hunt for off-the-beaten-path destinations – secret villages, magical castles, challenging hikes, beautiful beaches, and delightful local fiestas.
On At Lifestyle Crossroads blog, you’ll find local tips and detailed itineraries to help you explore Spain like a pro. Let me offer you a brief escape from your daily routine and be your insider guide to the wonders of Spain!
Alongside my love for travel, my husband Carlos and I have created a blog dedicated to the rich flavors of Spanish cuisine, Viva Spanish Kitchen. For tales of my adventures outside Spain, visit my Spanish blog, Alas de Aventura.
