My Creative Journey
I didn’t plan to become a writer. Writing simply refused to leave me alone. Somewhere between the quiet paths of my village and the bright noise of Dubai, stories started tapping my shoulder like “Excuse me madam we need to come out.” So I let them. Then I started a YouTube channel and suddenly I thought “Maybe it’s okay to blog too why not overshare in all formats?” Now I write about the chaos beauty and comedy of living abroad one story at a time hoping someone out there reads them and thinks “Ah so it’s not just me.”

Whenever life abroad feels overwhelming, I come back to this moment. Victoria Falls — powerful, grounding and a reminder that I’ve always belonged to something bigger
What This Blog Is About
This blog is where I unpack the chaos, comedy and quiet heartbreak of living far from home. I write about migration, identity and all the tiny moments in between – the ones that make you laugh, cry, or question your life choices at 2 a.m. If you’ve ever lived abroad, are thinking about it, or simply enjoy watching other people navigate cultural confusion, you’re in the right place. Here, nothing is too small, too dramatic or too “only me?” to become a story.
