About your host – Iana Hi, I’m Iana — an art lover, storyteller, and local guide from Bucharest. I studied acting and painting, and later completed a Master’s degree in Fine Arts, because I’ve always believed that life, like art, is meant to be felt deeply. I’ve lived in Bali, Singapore, and Hong Kong, and traveled to over 40 countries, always searching for beauty, inspiration, and connection. Yet somehow, I always find myself coming back to Bucharest — a city that feels like an open book filled with stories, colors, and emotions. Through my tours, I love to share the poetry of this city: its hidden courtyards, artists’ secrets, and the powerful women who shaped its history. My experiences are not just about sightseeing — they’re about feeling the soul of Bucharest, one story at a time. When I’m not guiding, I paint, write, and spend time with my two cats, who think they’re small philosophers. If you join my tour, expect warmth, curiosity, and a few unexpected stories .
