Alina's life

Alina’s Journeys

I write my travels like a love letter to freedom, one imperfect adventure at a time.

A polished wooden bar counter inside a cozy, independent café, with a large window revealing a blurred city street outside. On the counter sits a glass of sparkling lemonade with slices of lemon and fresh mint leaves, tiny bubbles catching the light. Beside it lies a compact mirrorless camera with a simple strap, and a transit card peeks out from beneath a folded city map. Warm pendant lights above create soft highlights on the glass and gentle reflections on the wood. Shot at a slight angle in photographic realism with shallow depth of field, the image feels playful, relaxed, and full of anticipation between travel adventures.
