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.
