Author: Ioana

Hi, I am Ioana, and I like to travel. Over the years, I have called ‘home’ several cities across Europe including Lisbon, Bilbao, Amsterdam and Milan, until I fell in love in Barcelona, where I am based for the third time now. I have a twelve-years background in architecture, and I like to capture nice stories, patterns and colours around me. And to live by the sea.

The place I am spending my confinement days in is a flat on 4th floor. It has high ceilings with Catalan vaults on wooden beams, big French doors at the balconies and floors covered in this amazing invention which is the hydraulic flooring. Continue reading Home Patterns

Shakshuka. Travelling in Flavours

This aroma! There are a few dishes that I will never forget as far as taste goes – and shakshuka, with its cumin warmth, chili spiciness, egg & tomato softness, and bell pepper sweetness, is one of my most beloved culinary delights. Continue reading Shakshuka. Travelling in Flavours

Cityscapes, Lisbon

The Lisbon Blues

January 21, 2020January 22, 2020 Ioana

With cities, it’s like with relationships. You see it for the first time, you like it, you want to know more about it. The spark bursts, and you move in, you start to get along, you get accustomed to new habits. Eventually, you wear each other out, and you move on. Continue reading The Lisbon Blues

About Travel in Patterns

Hi, I am Ioana, and I like to travel while working remotely. Sometimes I travel for short term, sometimes I stop and live in a new city for a while, getting to know new languages and local habits.

Over the years, I have called ‘home’ several cities across Europe including Lisbon, Bilbao, Amsterdam and Milan, until I fell in love in Barcelona, where I am based now. I have a twelve-years background in architecture, practicing it and writing about it, and I like to capture nice stories, patterns and colours around me. And to live by the sea.
