Iuliana Marchian is a certified transformational solo travel coach and the founder of Authentic Travels - a community of people who connect to their authentic self through solo travel. Iuliana went from codependency and a depressive personality to traveling solo over the world for +10 years to completely transforming herself on a mental, emotional and psychological level. She strongly believes that each of us has their own authentic travel style and that solo travel is the fastest and most efficient way to finding that, including personal and spiritual development. This led her to becoming the first certified travel coach in Romania, and managing the first business in Romania with a focus exclusively on travel coaching. As a travel writer, she has written for various worldwide outlets such as Inside Himalayas, Matador Network and Culture Trip. Her transformational memoir “Balak! Balak! - Six weeks in Morocco'' is the first one in a book series planned to be continued with more motivational and inspirational stories from her solo trips.
