  1. They Threw Stones Over My Head …

    2021-07-01 13:03:00 UTC
    I GOT HIT WITH A STONE! Napoli was my most foreign cultural experience thus frar. No other city has shocked me the way this place did. Congested, sticky, dirty, poor - those are the first adjectives that pop into my head when I think of it. The number of inhabitants…

  2. Tears Dry On Their Own

    2021-06-18 15:46:15 UTC
    TEARS DRY ON THEIR OWN Over the past month, I bonded with my sister and was really surprised to see how sad I was to get back on the bike. The flat area of Ferrara quickly turned into hilly Bologna, and I was challenged both physically and mentally. I thought…

  3. Do I Really Wanna Leave?

    2021-06-03 10:23:00 UTC
    Hitting the road TOMORROW! Is going to the South of Italy in the midst of summer heat the best idea? Well, if this sounds a bit mad to you, welcome to my World. My logic is pretty solid tho- I won’t know (if it’s gon’ kill me :D ) until…

  4. Getting Ready to Leave

    2021-05-28 09:16:00 UTC
    All Things Come To An End For the past 10 months, I have been restlessly photographing, journaling, and of course, pursuing personal projects, the biggest one being the Book.  In the past 5 weeks, I have been putting all of my time and effort into polishing the sample chapters…

  5. I Nearly Died

    2021-05-18 13:58:00 UTC
    NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE There is a reason why I travel alone. Generally, I find it extremely difficult to find someone who vibes the same way I do but when my sister offered me a little getaway, I didn’t hesitate because I craved to spend some quality time with her. And so…

  6. Is This The End?

    2021-04-28 07:51:00 UTC
    In the past weeks, blogging became secondary to me. There was simply too much going on and I wanted to make sure I am in the moment, truly seeing, exploring, and feeling all of the spaces that I was in. So where have I been in the past few weeks?…

  7. France Goes Into Lockdown

    2021-04-08 18:37:00 UTC
    WE MEET AGAIN As much as I always try to avoid France, for some reason, each and every time I end up staying longer than planned. I took a lovely break in Perpignan, exploring the city with my fav Moroccan hosts, and later hiking through the mountains in search of…

  8. Absolute Infatuation

    2021-03-29 10:15:00 UTC
    Not wearing my photographer’s badge this week has been weird. Partially, I felt free- after all, I didn’t have the urge to flip out my phone every 5 minutes because that simply was not an option. Moreover, I found myself more connected to myself, Nature, and the experience of Now.…

  9. Time To Say Goodbye…

    2021-03-19 12:53:00 UTC
    IT’S BEEN AN INTENSE WEEK I have been putting in some serious mileage this week. In a way, I felt like I started to chase after covering as much distance as I could but really- did I have a chance to actually sit in and enjoy the moment? GETTING LOST…

  10. I Crashed The Drone

    2021-03-12 14:33:00 UTC
    A lot of time I get torn between my urge to document the trip and an attempt to get to my designated destination. I want to get some quality contemplation time, hang out with my hosts, and work on my book but the day has only 24h and something always…
