About

Welcome to Somewhere Once — a quiet corner of the internet where I keep stories from the places I’ve been. I’m Rea, a casual traveler who believes that even a single journey can leave a lasting trace. I don’t travel all the time, but when I do, I carry the moments with me. These are the ones that don’t fit neatly in itineraries or postcards.

This blog is not about chasing destinations or checking off lists. It’s about remembering the calm of early mornings by the sea, the laughter shared over unfamiliar meals, the fleeting feeling of being both lost and found somewhere new.

Each story here is a small way to revisit those memories, to see how travel — no matter how rare — quietly changes the way we see the world and ourselves.

Thanks for being here.

Maybe you’ve been somewhere once, too.
