Continue reading →: On (Non)Travels Home
What’s the difference between simply going from point A to point B and travelling? I have no answer for that (maybe coz there is no answer), but going home to Lithuania from São Paulo somehow felt more like travelling than anything else. So many cool little details got stuck in…

Continue reading →: Curitiba? Curitiba!
I must tell you I was very skeptical about this place. I had to go there for work recently, and the idea of leaving São Paulo with all of its cool people did not seem too appealing. After a night on a (freezing, as always, bus), I found myself in…

Continue reading →: The Endless Coolness of São PauloSome time ago, I had a discussion with a friend on a topic that doesn’t really have any valid answer. We were discussing when it is…somehow appropriate to say that you’re actually living in a place instead of just travelling or staying there temporarily. What would be the factors involved:…

Continue reading →: Time to Have a Talk on Travel Talk
I remember being stuck on a bus (and then continuing being stuck on a metro) with some students from my university in Budapest several years ago, at some point just honestly asking them, “Can we pleeeeeease talk about something else than our classes? For example, I don’t know how about…

Continue reading →: A Quick Photo Essay of Everything
I was sitting at Oi (one of Brazil’s phone companies) shop in Rio, waiting in line to get a new SIM card, when an elderly lady started talking to me (I know, what an unusual situation…). She was clearly completely happy with our communication in a form of her monologue,…

Continue reading →: Destino AwesomenessAfter being sort of stuck in Bahia for more than half a year, I was suddenly going to Buenos Aires for several days. I quit teaching.

Continue reading →: Chapada Diamantina Series No. 3: Donkeys, Cardio, More Cardio“Follow the donkey shit!” was a piece of advice Luca was given by his friend who had been to Chapada before. And, no joke, a great piece of advice it was. We realised it was a great piece of advice on our second day of hiking, after having passed the…

We didn’t realise it then, but on our second day in Chapada we committed probably the greatest error a hiker can commit: we started our trail extremely late. In addition to having woken up late, we somehow thought that, for example, getting ice cream (that wasn’t even good!) should be…

“According to Hitchwiki, you can catch a truck from the port area”, my friend told me as we met in the morning of one of Semana Santa days, both with rather heavy backpacks, ready to start our adventure. Destination: Chapada Diamantina, the most famous national park in Bahia (a state…

I remember the feeling I had when I just arrived in Salvador: my suitcase wheels were making that loud (travel) noise as I was trying to find my way to my hostel using highly uneven – and at times non-existent – sidewalks, all sweating elbowing my way down through what…
My name is Justina
Nice to see you here!
As a political commentator who talks about different forms and systems of external oppression, I’m also interested in my own personal transformation.
In this platform, I share with you tools, frameworks, authors, and anything of value I have found to lead a life of authenticity.
Imperfectly – oh yes? And with silliness where appropriate (well, or not).
More about me here.
