a little bit about me

Hi, I'm so glad you're here! 🤎

If we haven’t met yet—hi! I’m Aleks, the face behind this cozy little corner of the internet ☕🌍✨

I’m currently living abroad, parenting a wild & wonderful toddler, and documenting the chaos, calm, and everything in between. This space is where I share travel stories, ridiculously good food spots, and honest reflections on life, motherhood, and finding joy wherever we land.

What started as a way to keep my family updated (and let’s be real, keep track of all the cool things I’ve done for myself!) has slowly become my digital journal, recipe book, and passport stamp collection all rolled into one.

I stand by creating
🌮 meals that nourish and actually taste good,
🚆 travel plans that focus on feel-good moments,
💡 mindset shifts to make life lighter,
🌸 and days that feel intentional.

This isn’t a picture-perfect blog—it’s real life. And I hope every post and travel tale here makes you feel a little more seen, a little more inspired, and a lot more capable of building the life you want.

Thanks for being here!! I’m just getting started, and I’m excited to have you along for the ride! 💌
