a digital journal of a life in motion

welcome to the archives

This is my little corner of the internet, where I share pieces of the world that have left me inspired, curious, or simply in awe. I spend most of my spare time dreaming of new places to explore and new experiences to chase, and this blog is where those daydreams and memories take shape.

Here you’ll find a mix of travel tips, personal reflections, and stories that capture the magic of stumbling into a hidden street, turning a corner to a breathtaking view, or sitting down to a meal that makes you pause and smile.

Think of it as my digital memory bank — a place to relive those “oh wow” moments and, hopefully, spark a few of your own. After all, isn’t that what travel (and life) is really about? ⭐️

hey, it’s seraphina

I’ve dreamed of starting this blog since I was a teenager, and now it’s finally here. At my core, I love chasing new experiences, discovering places big and small, and capturing memories through photos. I plan with intention (yes, I’m type A!) but I travel with heart — saying yes to adventures, filling my days to the brim, and coming home with stories to tell.

This space is partly my own archive of memories and partly a place to share itineraries, tips, and musings that I hope feel like swapping stories with a friend over coffee.
