"Why won't you go with other people? Isn't it sad going all by yourself?" These are questions that people always, always ask me. For the longest time, my answer to this would be just to shrug and say, "I don't know." But in reality, I perfectly know why I go and explore alone. I know, and today, I'm telling you my side of the story.…
You see, when I was younger, I would always write down my dreams and goals in life in bullet points. This was a trait that I have adapted in my early adult life. I would write down my plans and goals in the years to come, then I would obsess about it. More often than not, these plans have changed. I might have lost my cool whenever these…
If there is an important thing that keeping a journal has taught me, it is this: life changes constantly, and it might suck now, but tomorrow it will be better. This journal is my current one and I got it from a local boutique in Istanbul. I have lost count on what number this journal is, but I know one thing: I will never stop documenting and writing…
So as I have said, I know that I haven't been posting a lot since I have become really busy in the past few months. I would like to welcome my new readers with a bit of a little 'getting to know me' post. Nobody asked for this (hahahahahahaha) but I will post it anyway. Here are 10 random facts about me…

To be honest, 2018 has been rough, challenging, and oh so unexpected. I learned a lot, met a lot of amazing (and annoying) people, and dove into things I never thought of doing. Needless to say, I had a blast! I have had my heart broken and I have cried multiple times, but I would not have it any other way.…
For every photo I post on social media, people are so easy to comment positive stuff. Sometimes they would even say that they wish they had my life. But let me tell you this, my life is mine and it is not perfect--I have bad days too.…
Lately, the internet has been a huge part of my life. I mean, I work as a digital nomad so how can it not be? But in the coming weeks, I will be living in the mountains of Morocco. There will be no internet, no telecom signals, and I will be forced to shut down my online lifestyle and appreciate what it is like to live offline.…
For the past few weeks, I have been teaching abroad and I am loving every bit of it so far. You see, teaching English abroad has always been a dream of mine. A dream that I now got to fulfill. Although this is not actually a full time job, I am volunteering via Workaway. But it does not make the experience less authentic.…
