Hey! There you are.

I'm Rhiza.

​

Welcome to Rhiza's Nook+Thoughts.

​

This online space is where I share my thoughts, #travelstories, adulting struggles and anything under the sun. 

​

Back in New Year of 2016, one of my new year’s resolution was to start a blog (that, and hundred more resolutions that were never realized). Initially, I planned to share my travel stories since I already had my fair share of horrible and funny stories (that I think worth rehashing).  But I got caught up with life and the plan was shelved for years.

​

My big self-doubt is also one of the reasons why I hesitated in creating a blog. "I am not a writer, what am I going to write", "my life is boring, no one will gonna read my blog", and other excuses. But one day,  while rummaging my old stuff, I found my collection of travel memorabilia, i.e. old tickets, maps, travel trinkets, etc., that I collected during my travels. I was walking down memory lane and reliving my travel experiences. Then puff... I found the motivation to finally do this, to create a blog. 

​

​

So I tossed all my self-limiting words behind and started this blog.

​

​

Instead of sharing only my travels, I decided to make it more personal and share my inner thoughts about life, my struggles and feelings. To relive some of the most memorable events of my life. 

​

​

I'm trying to create a biography that I'll love reading when I am old, or to re-live the life I once lived.

This blog is a work in progress, as my life is! And I invite you to walk with me…
