“Home has always been a moving target — shifting, elusive, redefining itself with every new sunrise I witness from a different corner of the world. I used to think of home as a fixed point, a place I would arrive at one day, but the more I moved, the more I realized that home was not a destination but a state of mind — a sense of self.

These last couple of years have been a metaphor for this fluidity, a journey into self-mastery. Each day brought a new lesson in being present, a chance to lean into the intuitive nudges that whispered, ‘Trust yourself.’ Whether I was harvesting avocados or crafting plant-based meals or running global seminars, the real work was happening within — learning to be my own home.”

I’m building an anthology that not only explores the central themes of identity, belonging, and spiritual awakening but also ties back to the overarching idea of “coming home to myself.” The feature essays serve as milestones in my journey of self-discovery, offering readers a window into how travel, encounters with diverse communities, and moments of introspection have shaped my understanding of what it means to truly belong.
