I’m Tsvety, a storyteller, photographer, speaker, and creator of Small Acts.

Over the past few years, I’ve traveled to 44 countries, mostly solo, collecting stories, perspectives, and lessons about courage, connection, and living more intentionally.

Through my work, I share the moments that challenge us to see life differently — the experiences that shape us, the conversations that connect us, and the small choices that help us grow.

Today, I create books, speak to communities, lead workshops, and build Small Acts Club — a community designed to help people reconnect with themselves, embrace curiosity, and take meaningful steps toward a life that feels more intentional.

Hi again.

The Journey

On the surface, life looked structured and full, but I started noticing a quiet sense of disconnection underneath it all. When everything slowed down during COVID, I finally had space to pay attention to what I had been pushing aside.

2021

I tried to resolve things through work, therapy, and staying busy, but clarity didn’t come from fixing, it came from slowing down. One long walk changed things for me. I remember asking myself the questions I had avoided for a long time, and deciding it was time to leave.

2023

I started traveling solo and experimenting with a more intentional way of living. It became less about where I was going, and more about how present I could be in unfamiliar places.

2024

While traveling and meeting people around the world, I started noticing how many conversations mirrored my own experience. That sense of quiet searching wasn’t just mine, it was something I kept hearing everywhere.

2025

I began sharing my journey and the lessons behind Small Acts through speaking, workshops, and 30+ podcast conversations, exploring how courage, connection, and small acts of change can reshape the way we experience ourselves and the world around us.
