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 many different places, sometimes by choice, sometimes by chance, and along the way I’ve been discovering not just new corners of the world, but new parts of myself. I want to share my experiences of life abroad, knowing that many of us are navigating the same waters: figuring out how to belong, how to adapt, and how to carry pieces of home with us wherever we go. You’ll also find my insights and stories from my travels, favorite spots, and the people who inspired me. My hope is that these stories encourage you to stay curious, embrace life boldly, and find meaning wherever you land. Read More
