ABOUT ME

A wandering nomad with an unending love for the world and a pen.

Hi, my name is Mia ! I have been travelling around the world and falling in love with it for over three years now. Welcome to my digital diary. I'm so happy that you're here.

I’ve always been a fan of snail mail. There is nothing more beautiful than receiving a postcard or a letter that puts a smile on your face. For me, every letter is a time capsule. It captures a fleeting moment—its beauty and its raw emotion—preserved through the writer’s eyes. This is my collection of letters from different places to different people, and the stories of my experiences from around the world.

Dear Dhuniya began as a travel journal I wrote only for myself. After filling five journals, page after page, with the people I met and the emotions that coursed through me, I decided to create a digital version of this ephemera.

These are letters to the places I’ve left, to the people I may never see again, and to the version of myself that arrived as a stranger and left with a new perspective. Stories that have made me laugh or cry, left me with an introspective silence and helped me grow into the person that the road molded me to be today. Now, those pages have found a home here in this little corner of the internet—a digital post box for memories that anyone can open and feel like a part of the story.

I’ve been to seventy-seven countries so far across five continents. I’ve been lost more times than I can count, and found more than I ever anticipated.
