Knocking on Spring’s Door
Spring is almost here, and I couldn’t be happier! This winter in Germany has felt endless—so many dark days—but it’s had its own kind of magic. Now, I’m sitting here with the sun warming my face, surrounded by my plants, completely at peace. The birds are singing, and the world outside feels alive again. Our…
Exciting Times
We truly live in an unprecedented period in history. It’s honestly crazy to read the news and think about what is going on in the world. It feels like we are sitting on the edge of a third world war. Life, as we know it, is changing—and fast. The path that many of us thought…
Amsterdam
This was a small adventure that came out of the blue for us! My best friend proposed that we meet up in Amsterdam and hang out. I was instantly hyped to go; I had heard so much about this city, and the connection Pulp Fiction made to it always made it seem like a legendary…

New Beginnings

My portfolio was originally under the domain “Lanikea.net,” a small typo I overlooked when I purchased the domain back in 2023. This, alongside recent inspiration to rebuild my website in WordPress and start blogging, served…
