About me

You can call me Kim.

I’m happiest teaching, trying new foods from different countries and cultures, wandering somewhere beautiful, getting lost in bookshops, chasing sunflowers, watching animals, or having conversations that leave both people thinking, long after they’ve ended.

I value:

🌻 kindness

🌻curiosity

🌻emotional maturity

🌻people who are unafraid to be genuine.

My blog is a little collection of the things I love:

take and leave what you will.

Asks

Anonymous asks are always welcome. Please do add an emoji so I can keep track of who I am talking to.

Ask me about travel, books, life, teaching, photography, faith, the places that have shaped me, or simply tell me about your day. I genuinely enjoy getting to know people and hearing the stories that make them who they are.

Kindness goes a very long way here.

DMs

You’re always welcome to say hello.

I don’t always reply immediately because life occasionally steals me away, but I read every message with gratitude.

Respect is never optional.

Anons: 🌷~🪽~🌻 ~ 💐

I feel honored to receive such a thoughtful, generous and lovely reply. Thank you for taking the time to write something so kind back to me. I appreciate it more than I can put into words. You have such a beautiful way with words. And I’m really glad my words reached you and I hope you never underestimate the comfort and warmth you bring to people. I’m sending you a massive virtual hug right back.

I have to admit, your last few words may have made me a little emotional. Wishing those things for someone is such an incredibly kind thing to do and I’ll always appreciate that. Thank you, truly.

I hope your week so far has been nothing but lovely to you.

Beautiful bouquet of flowers,

Reading your “ask” felt like opening a letter that had sunshine folded inside it.

Thank you. Your words found me at exactly the right moment.

I think kindness has a funny way of travelling. We offer it to someone else, and somehow it circles back to us when we need it most. You’ve done that for me today.

I truly hope life returns every ounce of warmth you’ve shown me.

Until then, thank you for sharing a little of yours with me.

I want a life measured in first steps on foreign soils and deep breaths in brand new seas. I want a life measured in Welcome Signs, each stamped with a different name, borders marked with metal and paint. Show me the streets that don’t know the music of my meandering feet, and I will play their song upon them. Perfume me please in the smells of far away, I will never wash my hair if it promises to stay. I want a life measured in the places I haven’t gone, short sleeps on long flights, strange voices teaching me new words to describe the dawn.

This feels like it was written for every curious soul who has ever fallen in love with the world.

The line “show me the streets that don’t know the music of my meandering feet” might just be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read in a lottle while.

Being attracted to someone’s voice is actually crazy. Like I will fold in 2 seconds.

I guess I‘ll shut up and never ask anything ever again?

Nooo, don’t say that.

Please keep asking away. I genuinely enjoy reading your messages, and they’ve made me smile more than you probably realise.

Sometimes I just need a little time to catch up with replies, but I promise they’re always appreciated.

Haiii, wanted to stop by!

How are you doing? Is life treating you alright? I hope you’re doing well!!

-🪽

Hi 🪽 !

Thank you so much for stopping by. Life has actually been really kind to me lately.

It’s had its busy moments and its challenges, but it’s also been full of beautiful people, meaningful conversations, and little adventures that remind me how much there is to be grateful for.

I really hope life is treating you just as gently. I’d love to hear how you’ve been too

Curiosity is the quiet pulse of discovery, a relentless whisper that urges us to look beyond the ordinary, question the unknown, and seek the hidden magic in everyday life.

- found on google…

Curiosity has always felt like such a big part of who I am. I think the world becomes infinitely more beautiful the moment we stop assuming we know everything and start asking one more question. Thank you for seeing that in me 💫

Respectfully, I have a feeling you might be the first older woman I’ve talked to where I feel like I could have a truly deep and mature conversation, while also feeling completely comfortable and at ease.

I feel like you’re someone I could talk to for hours without even noticing how much time has passed. There’s something about your way of thinking, your warmth and the way you express yourself that I think would make conversations feel natural and meaningful.

More than anything, I hope life is being gentle with you and giving you the same kindness, happiness and warmth that you deserve. I truly hope life’s being nothing more than the kindest to you.

Would it be possible for me to claim “💐” as my anon, please? (she/her)

Oh my goodness… I don’t quite know what to say.

Thank you for trusting me with such kind and thoughtful words. It genuinely means more than I can put into a reply. Sometimes we forget that the way we move through the world reaches people we may never even meet, and your message reminded me of that today. I am sending you a massive virtual hug.

If my little corner of the internet has made you feel seen, comfortable, or simply given you a place where you can slow down for a while, then I think that’s one of the greatest compliments I could ever receive.

And as for life… thank you. That is such a beautiful thing to wish upon someone. I sincerely hope life is just as gentle with you, and that you always find people who make you feel heard, valued, and completely at ease.

Of course you may claim 💐 as your anon. I would be honoured to have you. Welcome, lovely.
