A multicultural family, embracing each other’s different ways of life, while naturally creating a new, beautifully intertwined way of living. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Celebrating the differences that…

A hilarious and relatable travel story about losing a phone in Copenhagen, getting stranded before a destination wedding, and navigating the city with zero information. A very “Tina” weekend full of chaos, kindness, and unforgettable memories.

Christmas in Minnesota 2024

Minneapolis, Minnesota is my hometown, the place where I grew up and that I hold dear to my heart. It’s where I spent my childhood and where many of my cherished memories were made. I didn’t realize how much this city impacted me until I left. However, luckily, I got to return for Christmas ’23 with my fiancé. My fiancé and I traveled to Minneapolis to celebrate Christmas with my family for the…

Czech Republic

During the Summer of 2019, I went to Prague. I planned this trip semi-spontaneously because I was worried that something terrible was going to happen. Nothing terrible ended up happening, but if it would have, this trip would have been my distraction from it all. At the time, I was living in Berlin, Germany, and Prague is surprisingly only a four hour bus ride away from Berlin, which made…

Quick background on me: I am a Sudanese-American that was raised in American until I was 23. Despite the fact that both of my parents are Sudanese, I couldn’t feel less…

Existential Crisis or Spoiled Brat?

Amidst the storm, there’s me, Tina, trying to do right by all, while laughing like a crack head and dancing through supermarkets. That’s me, with my hand over my head, probably thinking of something really funny. 🙂 For as long as I can remember, I have been all consumed with love. I simply, love love. But why? Where did my obsession come from? Last week I had a thought – am I really as damaged…
