About the Blog

..OF PIXIEDUST AND WANDERLUST!

I always have this madness to breakfree of everything I knew, or thought I knew. For twenty-six years, I lived in a bounded social mold, leading a life that, for the most part, was shaped by the circumstances of my existence. And lately I began to daydream about living outside my element from time to time. 

 

This blog is both reflective and narrative. Join me, as I satiate this yearning and share you the chronicles of my travel and my love of photography.

 

I, Aileen Mae Liuswandi, want to see the world. Follow a map to its edges and keep going. Forego the plans. Trust my instincts. Let curiosity be my guide. I want to change hemispheres and sleep with unfamiliar stars and let the journey unfold before me.

 

Towards the inherently ungraspable madness of pixiedust and wanderlust!

 

So be it. 

 

Fernweh, a German word that is equivalent to 'wanderlust', is the craving to travel. An ache for experiences never had and sensations never felt. It's a yearning for the complete unknown. A desire to discover 'home' under the wide open sky in a far away land, where the front door is the expansive sea and the bedroom, its sandy shores.
