About Valentina

Growing up, I was a dreamer. I dreamed of traveling the world and, slowly but surely, that’s just what I’ve been doing. Although, I have to say, I never expected to be as lucky as to have a husband by my side to join in on the ride. Since I’ve found my husband, Adem, life has been nothing if not adventurous. This is what I love to do, and life has felt ever more enriched by the time I’ve spent traveling.

Even though traveling with my love has been great, I am also not ashamed to admit that I have my fair share of internal struggles. And so, through this blog, I’d like to share some of my findings throughout the years in regard to the modern age and overcoming some of those struggles we all face from time to time.

A Little Back Story.

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, and always dreamed of adventuring far beyond the towering skyscrapers on the horizon. When the opportunity finally arrived, I jumped at it and ended up spending a year and a half living in Greece. It is there that I rekindled a friendship with Adem.

Adem and I have been traveling to numerous places since then. After meeting and falling in love in Greece, and then going through a very long process to get married in the United States, we decided to tell our story in order to inspire couples from around the world to travel and never allow borders to set your boundaries.

We created Modern Pangea so that like-minded dreamers could take a look at the modern world of travel through our eyes.  And through our travel, we can gain a better awareness of the world around us, as well as share some of the important life-lessons that we have learned along the way.

~Welcome to our journey~
