From Russia, with Love

From Russia, with Love

Traveling to Europe is challenging for me because personally, I find the old continent boring. Especially the big cities all look, sound and behave too similar and white and religious.  In my opinion, if one visits one large European city,

Bali, the Island of the Gods

Bali, the Island of the Gods

Indonesia marks the 50th country I have roamed in during my travels, and the 29th to have done so solo. Bali, one of the 17,000 islands comprising the country, has been holding the pedestal of one of the most well

The Way of the Philippines

The Way of the Philippines

Traveling: an idea born the moment I decide I have the time and means to do it. Next comes the staring at the world map long enough step, which supposedly helps me contemplate which destination sounds suitable for who I

Having a Good Time in location: Seoul

Having a Good Time in location: Seoul

Hello! My name is Lina and I am not a big fan of surprises. My day-to-day life is pretty normal, and I like to plan my days beforehand. I generally like order, and I prefer trying new things after I’ve

Not All Who Wander Are In New Zealand – Although They Should

Not All Who Wander Are In New Zealand – Although They Should

When I first set out to the world, almost everything I saw and experienced was new and fresh; however, the more I got out there, the less novel things felt. My world view lenses have changed since visiting 45 countries

Grey – Turquoise: 0 – 1

Grey – Turquoise: 0 – 1

French Polynesia has never been on my bucket list – a bucket that honestly only has a couple of names in it, not because I’ve been everywhere I ever wanted to, but because I never really have a destination in

About last Summer

About last Summer

It feels like a lifetime since I last cared to write and share anything about my life; mostly, it’s been feeling like I want to, need to, wrap it all up and never look at that bundle of events ever

On Appreciating Chaos: Marrakesh

On Appreciating Chaos: Marrakesh

It’s impossible to get to know a city just by visiting. One can feel a city’s vibe by pulling her corners and snuggling in her smells and colors and sounds, however a short-term connection rarely feels intimate. It can take

On Being Colorful: Cape Town

On Being Colorful: Cape Town

A few years ago I gave up looking up too many details about the places I plan to travel to. As an adept traveler, I am sure that whatever is worth experiencing will find its way to my path eventually;

On Being Present: Egypt

On Being Present: Egypt

“You are about to witness the top of pyramids” the taxi driver told me, smiling nonchalantly. “It’s ok to laugh, or cry, or scream if you feel like it. I’ve had tourists do it all.” I looked, and surely a

  • It’s always an honor receiving art from friends! Thank you, @madeleinekannan for thinking of me, and for making my home’s walls brighter. And yes, we’ve come a long way, but your painting has always been amazing! @madostinyart
  • They say time is an illusion, however as it trickles away, it’s fun noticing milestones and celebrating them. 2025 was a wonderful year full of growth. Buying an apartment, getting a new job, taking care of my body and my heart, and of course, lots of traveling and music; throw in some tattoos and piercings and the picture is complete. 2026’s goals are grander, with some of the same and more of the new. Peace and freedom are achieved step by step, and me, I’m on my way.
  • A really full birthday month for this Virgo woman, filled with all the good stuff: #lennykravitz concert in #lasvegas , #camping in #catalina island, #winetasting in #temecula , and a short yet sweet trip to #tokyo . All the good energy, all the good people, all the good food please! Cheers to another round of everything 🌎🌍🌏
