Hi. Welcome to my blog.

My name is Maša (pronounced Masha) and I come from the green, lovely and small Slovenia. This blog is about things that inspire, comfort and spike my interest the most – namely travel, science and philosophy.

To live is to travel

I love the places I visit, but more than anything, I love how places make me feel. The scents, the colors, the sounds … the food. The food! Not to mention cozy places that appear along the way. I have not travelled all around the world, but I lived in a few places so far. I spent one year living in Germany, five months in China and I also lived one year in Scotland, UK. Maybe I will live somewhere else still in the future, but for now, I am staying put in my small and cozy Slovenia.

To think about the world through science

I have always been very curious about the world and I was always interested in learning about so many different things – nature, chemistry, physics, biology, art, languages. Anything that even remotely resembled new knowledge, I was usually somewhere around to read about it. Despite its shortcomings and challenges, I still believe that the best way to think about how the world works and operates, is through science. I think the scientific methos is one of the best ways we can learn about the world and sometimes about us as well. Nevertheless, I love it when science is approachable and understandable, not complex and abstract. That’s why I try my best to talk about science in a relatable and livable way.

But let’s think about the deep stuff too

Although one part of this blog is about trips and travels, and new things that can learn from science, the last part is dedicated to my one and only – philosophy. Being a philosopher by heart (and Master’s degree), I think about life and the “deep stuff” quite a lot. So don’t be surprised if you read about what science can really teach us, about religion, what it means to be authentic, what exactly is the mind, ethics and purpose, and in what ways can we embody our beautiful bodies.

Phenomenology of the body is certainly a fascination of mine.

All things cozy

Last but not least, to round this up, this blog is place to write about all things relaxing…and cozy. The small and the not so small stuff that make us feel all is well with the world. The cozy that brings safety, comfort and peace. With some added travel, some science and some philosophy.

I hope you will join me on our journey together!
