Catching Up After 4 Months: Where I’ve Been and What’s Next
It has been four months since my last post. Life got full, and I needed time to reset, recharge, and live a little without documenting every second of it. Between marathon training, travels, and creator projects, I realized I did not want to post just to stay active. I wanted to write when it felt like me again.
The past few months have been a mix of running, reflection, and rediscovery. The Berlin Marathon tested everything I had, but crossing that finish line reminded me that growth happens quietly, in the moments when you keep showing up even when no one is watching.
A Season of Movement
After the race, I spent some time traveling across Europe. I started in Iceland, then made my way through the Scandinavian countries, Poland, Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom, and Ireland before heading home. Each country felt like a different chapter in the same story.
Iceland was calm and wild, with open skies and steaming lagoons that felt like another planet. The Scandinavian countries were sleek and serene, full of design, nature, and stillness. Poland surprised me with its warmth and history, while Germany was emotional and rewarding after the marathon. Austria was beautiful in every direction, the UK was buzzing with energy, and Ireland was peaceful and grounding in a way that felt like coming home.
I will share more from the full trip soon, but for now, a few moments stand out that I cannot stop thinking about.
Little Adventures That Changed Everything
In Berlin, I tried something completely new called the Berlin’s Highest Swing Experience. It quickly became one of my favorite things I have ever done. You are strapped in high above the city skyline, swinging over rooftops, surrounded by views of Berlin. It was both calm and thrilling at the same time. You can check it out here:

Then in Ireland, I joined the Cliffs of Moher, Burren, and Galway Day Trip from Dublin. The cliffs were even more breathtaking than I expected, and the wind was strong enough to make you laugh and catch your breath at the same time. It is one of those experiences that stays with you long after you leave. You can book it here:

Travel always reminds me that creativity begins with curiosity. Every new city, every walk through a market or a museum, adds something to the way I see and create. Since coming home, I have been easing back into my rhythm, cooking more, journaling again, and planning what I want to build next.
It feels good to share again, to reconnect, and to move at my own pace. There is a lot more from my Europe trip that I will be sharing soon, from the calm of Iceland to the cozy corners of Scandinavia, the charm of Austria, and the city buzz in London. For now, this is me catching up, finding balance, and feeling grateful for every mile, meal, and memory that brought me here.
The past few months taught me that slowing down does not mean losing momentum. It means making space for what truly matters. Right now, that means living, creating, and exploring, one step at a time.
