  • Hey, what’s up? I recently went to Adelaide in South Australia. It was a very short post night shift vacation, but a meaningful one. I met my friends from university who generously provided me with free accommodation and took me around Adelaide for a couple of days. Truly the best kind of trip, the one… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? I’m back with another book review, something I haven’t done in a long while after getting completely swallowed by the world of Avatar the Last Airbender comics. No regrets there. This time, I’m sharing my two cents on Ikigai by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles. In the simplest terms, the book explores ideas and habits that… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? Yay—you made it to the second last chapter of our Italy trip! Honestly, I didn’t think this would stretch to six chapters either, but hey, we used up a whole week of annual leave, so let’s make it count, yeah? This was our last day exploring the Dolomites, and as promised, let’s… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? Our next Italy adventure brought us to the legendary Seceda Ridgeline—and let me just say, what a view! Now, for those planning a visit, there are two ways to reach the top: you can hike (for the brave and the rested), or you can take the cable car (for the rest of us with… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? I recently finished reading a book that a friend gifted me for my birthday, so naturally, a book review post is in order. It took me a while to finish—not because the book was slow, but because life has been keeping me a little too busy lately. The book is titled The Cat… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up?  So, it’s the early May bank holiday, which means a long weekend! I decided it was finally time to visit France—believe it or not, I’d never been before. I flew from Birmingham to Paris, and it was a really short flight. This time, I was trying to save a little, so I… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? For those unfamiliar with Eid al-Fitr (or Aidilfitri, as we call it back home), it’s a celebration that marks the end of Ramadan—a month where Muslims fast during daylight hours (yep, no food or drink from dawn till dusk!). According to the Hijri calendar, it’s Eid 1446 this year! In this post, I’ll… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? I’ve got another book to share with you all. I’ve been following an Instagram account that regularly posts poetry, and over time, I found myself relating deeply to a lot of the content. The words felt honest and raw, and they stayed with me long after I scrolled past. Eventually, curiosity got… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? I haven’t written a book review in ages—I might have even forgotten how to write one. But I’ll try my best for this post! I read this book about a month ago, and it was so good. The title is The Gentleman from Peru by André Aciman. This is one of those books that… Read more

  • Hey, what’s up? Congrats! You made it to the final part. If you’ve been following along since the beginning, you get an imaginary gold star—and maybe a complimentary waffle (terms and conditions apply). In this post, I’ll be sharing my whirlwind half-day in Brussels. So, if you remember, I mentioned that I booked an apartment in… Read more
