About me

Welcome to my quiet corner.

My name is Korina and this isn’t a travel blog in the usual sense. I don’t write about perfect destinations or ideal itineraries. You won’t find a “top 10 places to visit” list here. What I write about is something quieter, deeper — about travel as a way to survive, and a way to search for meaning. I’m an INTJ by personality type, which in practice means I overanalyze, feel too much, and don’t easily accept the surface level of things. Daily life often feels too narrow: work, routine, faces without depth. In a world that lives too fast, I often feel like I need a different kind of oxygen.

That’s where the mountains come in.

Hiking isn’t a hobby for me — it’s a place where I can finally be silent, without the world interrupting. Travel is not an escape, but a space where I return to myself. Where, in the stillness, something finally makes sense — a flower, a landscape, a trail, a rock, a view, and my own breath that no longer feels foreign.

Most of my paths I walk alone. Not because I want solitude, but because I rarely find people I can truly be present with. Writing this blog is a way of reaching out — toward those who might feel the same.

I love mountains, forests, and other natural expanses. Once you climb a mountain and look around, you no longer have the same feeling about the world. Then you start to admire that vastness and power you see around you, and you realize that you are an absolute zero, useless, just a tiny grain of dust compared to all that, which has one single advantage — that it thinks about all of it. Then, even though you are incredibly insignificant and small, you become incredibly large because you have a mind that can comprehend what it sees around it. 

If you’re someone who doesn’t quite fit in, who searches for something deeper, who’s tired of the noise and the pretending — maybe you’ll find something familiar here.

Maybe you’re not alone.

Maybe I’m not either.
