“Where Old Drafts Learned to Breathe”

“Before reels and curated feeds, there was a weekend warrior with mismatched tents—and stories whispered only to canned tuna and 3-in-1 coffee sachets. This space is for rediscovery—for the drafts that waited years to surface, the beaches that breathed life into us, and the reflections that remind me exactly where it all began.

Before flight bookings and solo international trips, there were weekends like this. Tent in tow, no itinerary, just courage, with friends, and a blog draft that sat unpublished for over a decade. These are my OG travel stories that raised me.
