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. I have often been described as an “Activist for Knowledge”, “Wisdom Simplifier”, and “Impact Co-creator” – perhaps there is some truth in such descriptions. What I can say for sure is that I am occasionally courageous and wild, curious as a cat, frequently perplexed, and stubbornly persistent. My life’s purpose: to help people create new narratives and leave behind, as a legacy, a voice of unity and peace.

Travelogues

I go through life documenting thoughts and impressions, inspired by my travels, the wonders of our world, and the fragile nature of our humanity.

The hug of Siena

Tuscany is known for the medieval architecture and nostalgic ambience of its towns: a rosary of charming settlements amidst the valleys, displaying with pride bygone glories that have been...

Afternoon tea in a Nepali mountain village

It was late in the afternoon, and we were on our way back home from a short hike to Timu Hill and Durganati Khola in the Makadum area when we stopped for tea in one of the village houses. The...
The ancient guard of the citadel

The ancient guard of the citadel

On the southwestern side of Corfu, between Agios Matthaios village and the beautiful Korissia Lagoon that stretches next to the sea separated only by a narrow strip of land, there are the remains of Gardiki Castle: one of the most prominent Byzantine fortifications on...

Interpretations

Interpretations

With all their minimalist beauty and awe, the Cycladic statues remain a riddle. They could be mere samples of grave votives, symbols of femininity and fertility, or transcendental expressions of a spiritual journey. Every interpretation reflects the needs of humanity...

Sheer joy

Sheer joy

Each year’s comedy wildlife photography awards are a source of boundless joy. One cannot avoid cracking a smile even on a gloomy day when surrounded by such an abundance of cute faces, expressions, postures, or hilarious accidents. The comical element in the photos...
