About

Hi, I’m Sam, a 23-year-old Indian woman who swapped the bustling streets of Mumbai for the charming corners of Ireland to pursue my Master’s in English in 2022. Fast forward to today, and I’m navigating life abroad as a Marketing Analyst, and finding joy in both my professional growth and personal adventures.

Books have always been my escape, and moving abroad has only deepened my love for storytelling, self-reflection, and the little moments of everyday life. When I’m not analysing data or diving into my work, you’ll find me exploring new places in Ireland, indulging in cosy reads, or reflecting on what it means to live solo in my 20s. Welcome to Pages and Places—my little corner of the internet where I share the highs, lows, and in-betweens of my solo living journey in Ireland.

Through personal stories, book recommendations, and insights into solo life, I aim to give you a peek into what it’s really like to build a life in a new country. If you’re interested in solo travel, navigating the ups and downs of life in your 20s, or simply need a place to get inspired (or entertained), you’re in the right place! Grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and join me as I write about the things that make life abroad special—one page at a time.
