Hello!
I’m Martina
I’m an eternal optimist and insatiably curious. I’ve always loved writing. I started blogging in 2015 while going through a difficult transition in my life. Writing became my way of making sense of what I was going through and preserving the truth of my experience. Now, having gone through an extensive healing period, Chasing Delight has become about so much more. Here is where I share with you my musings on life, my photography and my adventures here in the Netherlands and beyond.
I am a graduate of the London School of Journalism and I’ve spent most of my professional life as an educator. Welcome to my personal blog. You can connect with me here.

Best piece of advice i’ve received
Don’t worry about things you can’t control, act on those you can. Always leave things and people better than you found them.
