Life is But a Dream

When I wake up in the morning, I am entering a new version of yesterday's creation. Physically, things may be the same, yet all the living components within the scene have infinite possibilities.

365 Days on the Road: Reflections

𝟑𝟔𝟓 𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐀𝐆𝐎, I was a little drunk on champagne as my flight to Bangkok took off, just as NYC decided to declare a state of emergency. As I woke up this morning in the magical town of Tepoztlan, Mexico, I recounted what I experienced that fateful day exactly one year ago. I woke up [...]

Overnight Train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai

It's an impractical use of time but if all you have is time to spare (especially when you've been in Thailand for six months during the pandemic of 2020) I highly suggest that you take the overnight train that takes you from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. The journey takes about 13 hours and if you [...]

I Am Not Your Mother: An Essay on Love, Self Worth and Boundaries

The women before me taught me different versions of femininity. In these months, I have acknowledged my own hand in the destruction of my self worth and my own shadows. When I say ‘no’, it is not a sentence for you to test my boundaries with.

☁︎ LET’S DIVE IN —

Hi there. I’m Julia Leung.

One day, I had an epiphany (which included lying on the floor and crying) that led to a series of decisions that completely changed my life and challenged my way of thinking.

I left my corporate career and set off to travel in the midst of a worldwide pandemic ( great timing right?) in search of finding the answers to living a fulfilling life.

Here, you can find the lessons and knowledge I’ve gained thus far in the form of various writings, personal development stories and travel adventures.

I hope you enjoy constantly evolving with me. ☼

naked in surrender,
arid air and supple sunlight creating a desert oasis, drying out emotions and feelings, evaporating heavy burdens of unworthiness and lack of self. carrying scars on my feet, reminders of the wrong turns i have taken and caution to follow my intuition.
scenes from GTO: I only meant to stay here for a few days, which has turned into three weeks. Sometimes places feel like home and adventure wrapped in one, sparking curiosity and wonder within. Having so much fun soaking in the beautiful colors and interesting layout of this city. If you come to Mexico, you have to add this pueblo magico to your list.
something about paper and pen draws me in. getting lost in creation, when the whole world fades away and my mind focuses on turning intangible into tangible. somehow it also serves as my refuge, when I’m at a busy restaurant or cafe. instead of turning to my phone, i scribble out my emotions and anxieties.
Still life of GTO: Early morning soda delivery & glass bottle pickups.
