ABOUT ME

Welcome to

Girl on the East

Hi, I’m Silvija!

Your Go-To Europe Travel Buddy and Frankfurt-based traveler. I love sharing hidden gems, travel guides, and cozy finds across Europe.

THE STORY BEHIND

So this little blog was born while I was living in the Middle East, originally meant to write about that part of the world – thus the name.
But life had other plans (as it usually does).
Fast forward a few moves later, and I found myself in Frankfurt, building a home here with my husband and our little boy — and suddenly, Europe became my playground again.
Weekend trips, cozy cafés, hidden corners, day trips that don’t require a 5 am wake-up call…
I started collecting them all and sharing them here.
Now Girl on the East is basically everything I’d send to a friend visiting town:
honest guides, local favorites, and places that actually feel good — not just look good on Instagram.
No gatekeeping.
