The Excursions

Unovia. One way. One life.

How will you live it?

Unovia was born from a life lived in-between. The founder grew up as a third culture kid, moving between Asia and Europe from the age of ten. These shifts across borders shaped her writing, sharpened her observations & nurtured a deep curiosity of the world.

What began as a photography account capturing moments on second hand analog camera, grew into something more. The images asked for words and the words became stories: of encounters, places, brief moments, and late night conversations.

Unovia is both an homage to that upbringing and a way of making sense of the world.
