I created this blog in an attempt to capture my thoughts and experiences as accurately as possible in the moment—not only to share them with family and friends, but also to preserve the memories and feelings I had at 23 and 25 years old. Most of these stories and photos were collected while traveling abroad between September 2022 and October 2025.

These experiences are recounted from memory, supported by photos and journal entries often written shortly after the events took place. I hope to be as detailed as possible, for memory’s sake.
