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.

Hazmieh is one of those beautiful suburbs of Beirut with a dominant European-like influence and a calmness that invariably surprises the ignorant visitor. Perched at the top of high hills and...

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 Towers of Love

The Towers of Love

We were on a road trip along the coastal line of Oman and in dire need of a suitable camping spot when, on a whim, we decided to venture towards Ras Markaz, near Ras Madrakah, and settle there for the night. The turn was adequately signposted, but our books and maps...

It takes so little

It takes so little

August was rather dull for my youngest, 10-years-old nephew who, deprived of his friends and his brother – all of whom were vacationing elsewhere – he spent long, lethargic days at my parents’ house, slaying far too many dragons on the PlayStation, watching too many...
