28 Japan
Journey with me through Japan in this visual and textual not-quite-journal of my 28-day trip through this enchanting, enigmatic and ultra-efficient country.
My first (self) published book, 28 Japan shares my personal travel tips, hopefully useful insights, moments of inspiration and the occasional frustration alongside many, many photographs I captured along the way. Use this book as a guide to help you plan a future trip to Japan, or indulge in a little wanderlust as I reminisce this memorably epic vacation through a country that charms me every single time.

I write for work
Writing helps me pay the bills. From food to finance, I believe in writing clear, easy-to-understand articles to reach wider audiences, without compromising quality or your unique voice.
I've included some of my favourite work below. Email me to find out how we can work together, or if you'd like an extra pair of eyes to polish your written work.
And no, I won't write your homework for you.

My Instagram posts feature mostly travel and journal-related content, with a smattering of everyday life in Stories. Thanks to being home-bound during the pandemic though, my content has largely been focused on my journals. You have been warned.
YouTube
Since I was taking videos for IGTV, I thought I'd make them do double duty and upload them to YouTube as well.
My videos are mostly flipthroughs of my travel journals and before-the-pen monthly inserts, "silent fountain pen" and ink reviews, and other stationery and journaling-related content. I have a growing list of videos I want to do, I just need to find the time to get around to it.
In the mean time, I am still far away from the eventual goal of monetising my channel, so do give me a follow!

Hello
I'm Nadiah. I'm a 40-something year old writer, editor, avid journal keeper, reader, foodie, on-hold-traveller, maker, sometimes photographer, music lover, neat freak; sometimes all at the same time, sometimes more or less one or the other, and sometimes something else altogether.
I am a one-person show most of the time, but I also enjoy being part of a team. And while I am quite set in my ways, I am also versatile and look forward to new challenges and discoveries.
I don't have a personal favourite quote, but Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life" is the closest thing to a personal mantra. I can't wait to travel again, to Japan in particular. In the mean time, I'm using this homebound time to catch up on significantly overdue travel journals.
