The Journey Compass 🧭
Here's what I write about on this blog – you'll find stories about my personal growth journey, the creative and technological explorations that shape my path. From my adventures with artificial intelligence and writing, to culinary discoveries as a barista and mixologist, and even pushing boundaries through extreme experiences.
I share my honest thoughts on digital nomad life and what it's like to navigate different cultures while staying true to myself. Sometimes I write about deep, introspective revelations, and other times, it's just about the perfect coffee I had or a fascinating human encounter.

The Inner Journey
Wandering the world taught me that the longest and most significant journey is the one inward—to myself. Instead of hiding the fact that my content consists of pieces written at different times, I turned it into a strength and a unique style that reflects the true nature of a journey:
separate moments that together create a whole story. This journey taught me an eye-opening truth—I am solely responsible for my life. Only I can bring myself to success. Only I can turn my dreams into reality.
The Human Journey
Sometimes, the real beauty of travel isn’t in the places but in the people we meet along the way. As a self-proclaimed introvert, I deeply cherish my solitude. But here’s the paradox—because I choose my interactions carefully, the connections I do make are incredibly deep and meaningful. The people I meet are the reason I keep traveling, despite the challenges.
The Professional Journey
A decade behind bars in Tel Aviv taught me everything I know about life. But between the espresso steam and the cocktail shakers, the dream of digital nomadism was always there, waiting for me to notice it.
After two and a half years of traveling the world, I made the scariest decision of all—to leave bartending behind and become a full-time blogger, trusting the universe, and most of all, myself. The road wasn’t easy, but I finally feel like I’ve found my true professional path.
The Culinary Journey
I remember being a little girl, watching my mom in the kitchen, amazed as she turned a few simple ingredients into something magical. Along the way, I discovered that I remember places through their flavors.
Like in the movie Ratatouille, when the food critic is instantly transported back to his childhood after tasting his favorite dish, I travel back to moments through taste. This culinary journey taught me that the way we eat is the way we live—and I love tasting everything, absorbing everything, and staying hungry for more.
The Practical Journey
Through this journey, I discovered how technology reshapes the way I experience the world through my smart glasses, which have become almost an extension of me. At first, I feared that using digital tools, especially AI, would strip my stories of their authenticity.
But I realized that my experiences, thoughts, and emotions are entirely mine. Technology simply helps polish the raw diamond of my words—but the diamond itself? It’s 100% mine.
The Experiential Journey
I’ve come to realize that my biggest fear in life isn’t skydiving, swimming with sharks, or even being locked in a cage facing a crocodile. My real fear is living a boring life. That’s why I chase adrenaline the way others chase their morning coffee. It’s not enough for me to just visit a new city, check off the must-see sights, and move on.
I need to feel the place in every cell of my body—whether it’s picking tea leaves in Chiang Rai, getting lost in infinite illusion rooms, or sipping cocktails in a hidden Melbourne bar, you enter through a refrigerator door in a random store.
The Nomadic Journey
Maybe I’m a little different or just crazy—because while others seek comfort, security, and a home of their own, I see those things as warning signs. I’ve realized that I’m addicted to new beginnings, and my curiosity about the world, people, and cultures is endless.
My nomadic journey began when I understood that this isn’t just "travel." How can you call it "travel" when it reshapes your entire worldview? How can the same word describe both a short walk in the park and a deep dive into an unfamiliar culture? When I say "journey," I mean an adventure that redefines the soul.
How to Navigate My Journey
The uniqueness of my blog lies in its structure—short, authentic stories that weave together into a rich, multi-dimensional tapestry of experiences. The blog follows three complementary content streams that unfold gradually:
🕰️ The Journey Through Time (Mondays)
Chronological posts that tell the story in the order events happened. These are more complex posts, combining multiple short stories from the same period, allowing you to walk the journey with me moment by moment and experience its evolution as I did.
🌎 Journey Beyond Border (Wednesdays)
Theme-based posts that focus on a single topic (like "Friendships on the Road" or "Lessons from Challenges") and connect short stories from different places and times. These posts provide a deeper understanding of the insights I’ve gathered along the way.
📆 The Daily Journey (Every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday)
Short, real-time stories about what’s happening in my journey right now. These raw and fresh moments are written as they unfold and haven’t yet formed into a complete picture.
🧡The Weekly Journey (Sundays)
A free weekly newsletter that goes deeper than what you see here. I share a personal reflection on the previous week, behind-the-scenes moments from my writing process, and the thoughts that don't quite fit into a full post but deserve to be shared.
✨The Secret Journey (Fridays)
A paid weekly newsletter with my most honest writing. This is where I share the stories I'm not ready to tell the world, the unpolished thoughts that keep me up at night, and the behind-the-scenes reality of building a life around writing and wandering.
