Join the Adventure.
Hi, Iโm Offely.
Not everything fits on a postcard. I write about what exists beyond the frame: the overlooked corners, the unfamiliar moments, and the stories that make a place feel real.
Border Brief
Everything you need to know at the border, briefly.

"The wind blows my hair before I can see the city. Then the medina of Essaouira appears through the car’s window."
The Atlantic crashes against ancient ramparts, blue fishing boats sway in the harbour and the alizés carry the scent of mint tea, spice and charcoal-grilled sardines through the medina.
For a few days, I slowed down with the rhythm of the city, wandering white and terracotta alleyways, drinking mint tea in hidden local cafés and watching kitesurfers disappear into the thralls of the ocean. ๐๐ฒ๐ฆ๐ต

Going away to Sri Lanka soon? Want to know more about what you’ll eat?
Think all the tropical fruits you can possibly find, fresh bread on your doorstep, spicy curries, the best dosas you’ve ever eaten and everything coconut. Also rice everywhere ๐๐ฅฅ
In my case, my mother in law does all the cooking whenever I’m there and I get a front row seat to a (very spicy but delicious) feast.

This country exceeded all my expectations this year. We swapped Japan for China due to visa issues, and it turned out to be a hidden gem. A sensory experience like no other, I highly recommend adding it to your bucket list.

I spent three weeks going around China earlier this year. It was one of the most unexpected trip I undertook. We booked the plane tickets at the end of February and landed there on March, 31st. Having a partner who lived there six years and speaks Mandarin was a lifesaver.

India delivered so much in such little time we were there. It was hard going around but the Himalayas were incredible and hopefully we can go back and stand some more at the root of these magical mountains ๐๏ธ๐ฎ๐ณ
