Coucou 🙃

I’m Shahina, or formally, Shakhina. I grew up in Uzbekistan, but have been living in the USA for the past 20 years and call San Francisco home (although that’s been getting blurrier lately).

I am a tech product leader, and am currently on a sabbatical traveling the world and co-writing a mathematics book.

I think visually. I write in mirror image. I see music (sometimes). I’m always searching for the perfect word, yet rarely finding it. I’m happiest when I’m playing with ideas, noodling on thoughts and creating something new. I love art, math, traveling, charming neighborhoods and cozy coffee shops. I enjoy catching live music, playing guitar, singing, practicing yoga and hanging out with friends. Oh and I’m obsessed with Alice in Wonderland and The Little Prince.

Here you’ll find my notes from my journey around the Earth, mostly to remind my future self about what I’ve experienced, thought and felt. Slide down the rabbit hole and explore the wonderland with me!

Wandering and wondering, ever curiouser and curiouser…
