28 Japan

Journey with me through Japan in this visual and textual not-quite-journal of my 28-day trip through this enchanting, enigmatic and ultra-efficient country.

My first (self) published book, 28 Japan shares my personal travel tips, hopefully useful insights, moments of inspiration and the occasional frustration alongside many, many photographs I captured along the way. Use this book as a guide to help you plan a future trip to Japan, or indulge in a little wanderlust as I reminisce this memorably epic vacation through a country that charms me every single time.

All The Ns

All The Ns is my handmade side hustle that’s been around since 2008 (and possibly earlier). We’ve evolved a lot since then, continuously experimenting and designing new things in our bid to make our little mark on the crafty world.

Instagram

My Instagram posts feature mostly travel and journal-related content, with a smattering of everyday life in Stories. Thanks to being home-bound during the pandemic though, my content has largely been focused on my journals. You have been warned.

YouTube

My YouTube channel is an extension of my record-keeping – of “silent” fountain pen and ink reviews, flip throughs of my travel journals and before-the-pen monthly inserts, and other stationery and journaling-related content. Just don’t expect cinematic masterpieces, and enjoy the fountain pen / ink / journaling world, you’ll be fine.

Hello

I’m Nadiah. I’m a 40-something year old writer, editor, avid journal keeper, reader, foodie, on-hold-traveller, maker, sometimes photographer, music lover, neat freak; sometimes all at the same time, sometimes more or less one or the other, and sometimes something else altogether.

I am a one-person show most of the time, but I also enjoy being part of a team. And while I am quite set in my ways, I am also versatile and look forward to new challenges and discoveries.

​ I don’t have a personal favourite quote, but Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life” is the closest thing to a personal mantra.
