ABOUT
Hi, I'm Nina!
I'm a German-born Chinese storyteller and artist, documenting life at the edge of the seen and unseen worlds.
Creating a digital home has meant unlearning everything I knew about performance-driven strategies and portfolio optimisation. As you explore, you'll notice incomplete pages and raw ideas.
Here, I'm practicing slow, authentic expression.
Thanks for stopping by & feel free to drop a message anytime! :)
Always happy to chat about website building, storytelling, spiritual/creative practices, Gene Keys, calisthenics, adventure hikes and anything in between.
My Story
Growing up as a second-generation immigrant, my life has always been about dancing between extremes & embracing paradoxes.
During my electrical engineering studies, I hit rock bottom with depression.
Therapy introduced me to my inner world and emotions.
Spirituality led me back to Source.
I couldn't stop reading about and experimenting with esoteric teachings, occult studies, New Age philosophies, OBEs & psychedelics. I knew I wanted to devote my life to the study of the metaphysical realms, even though I had no idea how that would look. The idea of God and an infinite universe still seemed abstract, and I was determined to find and learn from a teacher and likeminded people.

Eventually, I found a spiritual community in Portugal where I lived and served for two years. From there, I landed on Madeira as a digital nomad in 2023, where this blog began.
I wanted to document my spiritual journey and share magical moments in "mundane" life. To create a safe space where visitors would feel seen & inspired to venture out themselves on an inner or outer journey.
A digital temple of remembrance.
Devoted to the union of opposites.
Over time, I realised that I cannot walk the spiritual and physical worlds only offline - the website needs to reflect this integration as well. My remote job as an IT project manager and trips back home to Germany definitely helped me with grounding. Perhaps even preventing me from going to Bali and becoming a New Age spiritual influencer ;)
I'm currently in another transition phase, preparing for the next adventure.
