Hey there! I’m so glad you’re here. This blog is all about the joy of exploring, sharing stories, and embracing adventures.
I’m Ceren, a mother, engineer, and traveler living in Columbus, Ohio. From childhood adventures to life-changing moves, travel has shaped who I am. Growing up, I was lucky to visit many different places with my family, both in my hometown, Turkey, and abroad. In high school, I joined an international scouting camp in England. During university, my friends and I explored Italy by train. After graduation, I spent a few months living in Germany, and anytime I had free time, I was off chasing the thrill of discovering a new destination.
As much as I loved traveling, I never imagined I would leave Turkey for good—starting a completely new life thousands of miles away from my family and friends. But life had other plans, as always :). Just a few days after our wedding, my partner and I packed our bags and moved to the United States for grad school. Adjusting to a new country wasn’t easy, honestly. But we planted roots in a new city, built a cozy little home, and embraced the start of a whole new chapter.
Since moving here, my husband and I have made it a point to explore whenever we can. Whether it’s a road trip to a nearby town or a weekend getaway to another state, traveling has become a way to create lasting memories. When our daughter was born, she naturally became part of our journey, making each adventure even more exciting.
Now, I’m here to share those stories with you—from the hidden gems in Ohio to my favorite adventures further afield. I hope this blog inspires you to embark on your adventures, whether that means hopping on a plane or discovering something new in your hometown. Travel isn’t just about the destinations; it’s about the memories we create along the way.
