My Unusual Journeys
Pathways to Meaning and Peace
Welcome!
I am Konstantina: a writer, traveller, and entrepreneur. Passionate about stories, communities, and the mysteries of our humanity.

We were already hiking for a few days among the villages of the Sapa region in northern Vietnam, and, by then, the tranquillity of the rice fields and the cheeky nature of the muddy trails had become a familiar and beloved companion. Still, as we exited the area of...
