This Is Your Sign to Start That Journal Today

Hello kind people of Hive 🌿

Please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are a married couple living together in Germany—I’m a Filipina, and my husband is German. Over the years, we’ve collected countless sweet memories from places in the Philippines, here in Germany, and in Hong Kong, where we got married.

For a long time, these special moments stayed quietly with us—living in our minds, our hearts, and hidden in our photos. Not because we didn’t want to share them, but simply because we never started.

We’re not here to tell a dramatic love story (that might be a little cliché 😉). But if you’ll allow us, we would love to share something simple and real—photos of the beautiful places we’ve visited, and the ones we dream of exploring in the future.

Now here’s a little “not-so-secret” secret… 🤫
We love to travel. And one day, we dream of traveling the world.

But life isn’t only about traveling. In our quiet days, I enjoy junk journaling, crafting (sometimes with my daughter 💕), gardening, painting, and all the little things that make life soft and meaningful.

Starting today, I want to share these small pieces of our life—not to impress anyone, but to inspire. Maybe someone out there has been thinking about starting a journal, planting something new, or picking up a paintbrush… but just needs a little push.

Because honestly, these simple hobbies bring so much peace to the heart. You don’t have to be perfect at them (I’m not!). You just have to begin.

So here we are—finally starting.

Thank you for taking the time to read our introduction. You’ll be seeing us here from time to time from now on… whether you like it or not 😄

Stay inspired 🌸
With love,
Jackie and Tobias
