Wandering, Settling, Learning

Welcome to Travel Diaries by Iv, a space where I share what it’s really like to live between different homes and cultures. Here, I write about the ups, downs, and in-betweens of life abroad—personal stories, lessons learned, and the little things that make each place feel like home. Of course, I’ll also share tips, favorite spots, and experiences worth exploring along the way.

Hi, I’m Iv!

Life has taken me to different places, sometimes by choice, sometimes by chance, and along the way I’ve been learning about new cultures—and about myself. Through this blog, I share what it’s really like to live abroad: the highs, the challenges, and the small moments that make a place feel like home. I’ll also sprinkle in tips, favorite spots, and stories from my travels—but mostly, this is a space to reflect on what it means to belong (or not) in different corners of the world. I hope my stories inspire you to embrace curiosity, navigate life boldly, and find meaning wherever you land. Read More
