I am Margarita and I am DownshiftingPRO. My website address is https://www.downshiftingpro.com. I’m a travel, lifestyle blogger with a whole lot of opinions and reviews thrown in. I write about places I have gone to, the food I love and things I like which I think you’ll like. Some of my content (posts, social media, guest posts) may include affiliate links (in the future) and links to sponsors. These affiliates and sponsored links help fund both my travels and the business of blogging but they are NO COST to you. In as much, my blog will collect information from you. Below I will outline our privacy policy – GDPR Compliance.
