Hi, I’m Elena, a Spaniard with a habit of feeling at home in more than one country.

I’ve lived in seven countries for studies or work, and travelled to many more. Here, I’ll share stories from both: the places I’ve called home and the trips that have stayed with me long after returning.

Writing about my travels takes me back to the moment, the place I was in, how I felt, the people around me, and the little details I thought I’d forgotten. For a little while, I get to be there again.

I created Postcards by Elena to share my passion for travelling through my own experiences, thoughts, and photographs: the places I’ve discovered, the excitement and uncertainty of starting over, and what I’ve learned along the way.

I hope these stories give you a glimpse of life somewhere else, inspire an adventure of your own, and show how stepping outside our comfort zone can open up unexpected paths in life and change the way we see the world.
