Who is Aneta

Model, traveller,
storyteller.

I'm Aneta Mlcakova — a model and travel writer from the Czech Republic, now living in Lugano, Switzerland. I write about the hotels, islands and journeys that are actually worth the trip.

My partner and I travel as a two-person crew: I write, he shoots. What started as a way to remember our trips became the reason we take them — every stay turns into a story, told in photographs and in words.

I started modelling young, and campaigns for brands like Guess opened the door to a world of fashion, sets and long-haul flights. Today an audience of 1.2 million on Instagram follows that same journey, though what I'm known for has quietly moved from the runway to the road.

Moving to Lugano a few years ago changed the shape of my life. Switzerland became home, and the Alps became the starting line: from here it is easy to leave for the Maldives, the Serengeti or Santorini — and easy to come back and write about them.

The more we travelled, the more I wanted to say something useful. Not only the marble lobbies and the sunsets, but which room to ask for, which season to avoid, and when a place genuinely lives up to its price.

Hotels began inviting us to document their properties, and that work grew into this journal: part diary, part guide. I write the reviews I wish I had read before booking — mistakes included, because those are the parts that save you money.

Everything here comes from a stay I have actually had. If I recommend a place, it is because I would go back.

How the two of us work

I travel with Niccolò, and we work as a crew of two: I am in front of the camera and write, he shoots. Every photograph and every video you see on this site is his — stills, motion, traditional and FPV drones, underwater, and the whole edit afterwards.

That is why the reviews here have pictures that look like the place rather than like a brochure. We arrive, we live the stay, and we document it the way we would want to see it before booking.

Properties often ask us for the same content for their own channels. When they do, we shoot it exclusively for them alongside our own — the details are on the media kit.

Welcome to my world, where every post is an invitation to travel beautifully.
