What is real healing?
Real healing begins when we turn inward and recognize the harmful behaviors we once normalized. Through therapy and self-reflection, we reclaim our narrative and begin to distance ourselves—with honesty and care—from patterns and people that no longer serve us. As we grow, old dynamics fall apart, revealing who truly benefited from our silence. Healing isn’t just recovery—it’s a quiet revolution of self.

Safari in Maasai Mara, Kenya. Experience and tips.
Chanoyu (茶の湯). The beauty of the Japanese Matcha Tea Ceremony.
Chanoyu, or the Art of the Japanese Tea ceremony, is something I had to create a separate post about. It was a very special part of my Kyoto solo trip, a spontaneous escape -turned into one of my most fulfilling experiences yet. The art of the tea ceremony in Japan is truly fascinating, as it…
Kyoto: Japan. My first solo travel experience and some thoughts.
“I’ll be in Tokyo for work for a week. Would you come?” He asked. (What a question…)“Let me research a bit”. I respond with an inner calmness equal to that of a dog hearing the word “Walk”. (OBVIOUSLY was the honest reply.) I believe that sometimes the best thing you can do is say, “Yes,…
AfrikaBurn 2023: South Africa. A “virgin’s” guide to the dust and survival list.
A long awaited journey. Towards freedom. A canvas where as soon as I started painting my boundaries, the next moment I would watch them dissolve and disappear together with our audacious water puddles in the desert.
Indonesia: Bali. Escaping reality, again.
You know those moments when you hit your limit and all you want to do is escape? It doesn’t even matter where—you just need to leave. That’s exactly where I found myself last March. Thankfully, my travel partner-in-crime, Nicole, was on the same wavelength. One phone call later, we were scrolling through flights to far-off…
Turkey: Istanbul. A city on a tightrope.
It was colours, it was flavours, it was people. It was experiences, details, history, past and future. It was East and West, it was all that in a bizarre blend – an acrobat that is gracefully walking on a tightrope with torn sand bags in his two hands which may at some point cause him…
France: Winter in Paris
It is the winter that somehow makes this city even more magical. I find something less touristic about cold, wet, winter night walks and crossing bridges in windy days. The scenery of less crowded streets is really making you imagine of times long past, of elegant ladies under umbrellas held by gentlemen, or Parisian cafes filled with delicacies and of…
Greece: Monemvasia
Do you want to be transported back in time? A short ride from Athens is how you do it. This time, it was a quick escape—the kind shared with your best friend, a girls-only adventure, which always turns out to be the best kind. First stop Sparta, our home for the weekend. We stayed in…
Spain: Barcelona for “Primavera Sound”.
The Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona feels like stepping into a vibrant world where music, freedom, and creativity collide in an electrifying celebration. It’s not just a festival—it’s a pulsating, immersive experience set against the dynamic and colorful backdrop of one of Europe’s most captivating cities. Held at the Parc del Fòrum, where the Mediterranean…
“Bugatsa” desert in a delicious version
In the midst of undoubtedly crazy times, hectic preparations, trouble solving tasks, some personal ups and downs and the usual unresting mind that keeps me company as the base of it all, I will put it simply. One needs sugar. And if sugary feelings lack, one needs even more sugar. That is when my dear…
Frid-esque
I have discovered a newly found freedom in expression. It is called, not caring for feedback of any kind. This alone is capable of releasing some profoundly positive energy waves and carry you from periods of pain to such of the brightest light. They won’t last for long, no. You will most probably relapse into your…
