Background
education & experience
Born in Bulgaria, Geri has spent a big part of her life travelling the world and living as an expat in different countries. Since 2018, she calls
Perth, Western Australia, her home.
Geri's first experience abroad - living in Tigray Province in Ethiopia - started her travel writing journey. Writing mostly to friends and family,
she wrote about the country and the people of Ethiopia, trying to see the subtle threads that connect people and places with history and
traditions and that make every country what it is today.
After returning to Bulgaria, she started her first blog, When Woman Travels, in 2014. On the blog, she shared advice to female travellers
while continuing to travel to many more countries. During that time, she was a member of the Association of the Owners of Tourist Online
Media in Bulgaria as well as of the Bulgarian Association of Journalists and Travel Writers. In the years that followed, her articles were
published in several online and print publications and she collaborated with companies and brands in the travel and lifestyle industries.
While writing and travelling, she worked on several hospitality projects where she created the overall design concept - from branding to
interior design, as well as residential renovations - from one-bedroom apartments to split-level homes.
In 2008, Geri completed her Diploma in Interior Design. Followed Bachelor Degree in Hospitality Management in 2014 and Master of
Business Administration in 2015. In 2019, she achieved her Diploma in Freelance and Travel Writing from London School of Journalism.
