A woman in beige pants and white top presenting and smiling. Her hands are stretched out in front of her and she's welcoming the audience. She's on a podium and there is a flat screen TV behind her.

Welcome. I’m Tsvety.

Three and a half years ago, I found myself feeling disconnected, lost, and unsure of what I wanted from my life. From the outside, everything looked fine, but internally I felt like I had lost touch with myself. I didn’t know exactly what I was searching for, but I knew I needed a change.

That feeling led me to take a leap: I left behind the life I knew and began traveling. Over the past few years, I’ve traveled across 44 countries, and along the way, I discovered that transformation rarely comes from one big moment. It comes from the small, intentional choices we make every day.

A conversation with a stranger. Choosing curiosity over comfort. Sitting with uncertainty instead of escaping it. Learning how to be alone without feeling lost.

Those small acts of courage changed the way I saw myself and the world around me. They became the foundation for Small Acts Club.

Small Acts Club is a space for people who want to reconnect with themselves, embrace curiosity, and create a life that feels more intentional—one small act at a time.

What I Do

SPEAKING/WORKSHOPS

I speak about the quiet struggles many people experience but rarely talk about: loneliness, disconnection, identity, and the courage it takes to create a life that feels like your own.

Through personal stories and the lessons, I show how small acts of bravery can help people reconnect with themselves, build meaningful connections, and take the first steps toward change.

Story-led. Honest. Designed to challenge perspectives and inspire action.

My Small Act Moments

Bali, Indonesia

I dressed up in Bali and did a solo photoshoot I never would have dared to do on my own.

It took a chance encounter with another solo traveler to unlock something in me, a reminder that I don’t have to wait to be ready.

So I did what I’ve learned to do in moments like that: I showed up. I stayed present. I said yes to the experience.

A smiling woman in outdoor gear stands on a rocky mountain terrain with her arms raised. She is wearing a black puffer jacket, gray pants, boots, and a beige beanie with a pom-pom, with a backdrop of mountains and a partly cloudy sky.

Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

If I hadn’t started my solo journey and learned to take small, intentional steps toward a different way of living, I don’t think I would have ever made it to the top of Africa.

It was years of quiet courage, building trust in myself through solo travel, that gave me the proof I could handle almost anything.

Without implementing Small Acts as a way of living, I would have struggled to believe I was resilient enough to get there.
