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

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

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

  • I will always be grateful for the strangers that so kindly offer to take a picture for me, and for the short interactions we have. It’s always a nice excuse to meet people #ontheroad even if these acquaintances are almost always short lived. Even when the pictures are not the best, they’re some of the most precious #souvenirs I bring home with me.
