The Journal
Not everything fits inside a book.
These are the in-betweens. The field notes.
The pages written at midnight,
somewhere between salt and sand.
From the Screen to the Soul
Dramas, Rituals & the Stories That Stay With Us.
Step beyond the script into the scents, silks, and sentiments that linger long after the final scene. Not just reviews—this is where Korean and Chinese dramas become a gateway to deeper connection, cultural insight, and personal reflection—through the lens of the shows that moved you.
The Smart Sailor’s Notebook
Cruise Tips, Hidden Ports & Lived Advice from Behind the Scenes
You don’t need another blog by someone with loyalty points and a packing list.
This is for travelers who want more than just "vacation tips."
These are dispatches from the bridge-side of the cruise industry—
from a senior officer who didn’t just see the chaos—she solved it.
Real travel wisdom doesn't come with perks—it comes from the crew corridors.
SALT STEEL
What It’s Really Like to Live and Work at Sea.
Hard truths and soft moments from someone who’s worn the uniform, walked the decks, and stood in the quiet of the Strait of Magellan long after the guests had gone to bed.
This is life behind the crew-only doors—told by someone who lived it.
For crew, ex-crew, and anyone curious about the reality behind the waterline.
Ink & Echoes
Whispers from the Heart of the Sea
These are the words that never made it into the ship’s log.
The letters unsent.
The poems scribbled at midnight—
folded into uniforms, or tucked into saddle bags and side pockets.
Wistful, honest, and sometimes wind-worn—
they’re for the ones we lost, the moments we kept,
and the truths we carry like keepsakes in our chest pocket.
The Healer's Pantry
Tea Blends, Ancestral Wellness & Recipes from the Past
Part apothecary, part kitchen journal—
spleen-friendly broths, healing herbs, and soulful rituals inspired by ancient wisdom and daily needs.
Rooted in Chinese medicine, touched by European folk traditions, and born of personal recovery, these recipes are slow, sensory, and powerful.
Whether you’re healing spleen dampness, calming liver Qi, or glowing from within—
this is herbal wisdom made lyrical and practical.
