The Story Behind Voyage à nue
July 2022. I was in Rome, a fine glass of Prosecco in hand, sitting across from my best friend when she snapped a magazine-worthy photo of me. Don't get me wrong - I'm a confident woman - but seeing what she captured made the little girl in me look up in awe. Has that ever happen to you?
Moments like these have a way to rewire you. Sometimes, they reveal parts you that never quite healed, or parts that are quietly asking for your attention.
That's what Voyage à nue is:
A travel blog about meaningful journeys, self-discovery, and traveling vulnerably.
My name is Emi.
I write about my experiences as "what I was feeling while I was there".
When I look at social media, I see the beautiful side of travel: the laughter, the breathtaking destinations, the perfect outfits... I have those moments too. But this travel and lifestyle blog is about what happened in between those pictures:
-
The unexpected loneliness I felt in Zurich.
-
The emotion that surfaced in Chicago, a place I thought would make me happy..
-
The future self I wished upon while ringing in a new year in Sydney.
The photographs tell you where I was.
The travel stories tells you what happened inside me.
Travel and wellness
My goal in life is to find peace and learn how to remain in the space where the mind grows quiet, the spirit is unchained, and the soul moves closer to a sense of Oneness.
There is something deeply human in our desire to anchor ourselves in something greater, purer. I want us to experience some of that here, together. Not by escaping ourselves, but by being willing to face ourselves more honestly.
Travel and wellness go hand in hand. Through laughter, solitude, and the unexpected moments, let's accept the invitation to see oneself more fully, without armor.
