About Nina Mostafa
On September 9, 2001, two days before the infamous 9/11, Nina migrated to Melbourne, having decided to follow her heart. "Despite the struggles and heartaches, I have never looked back. And amidst all this, there is peace and light. After almost a decade here, Australia is my life and home now. And inspired by the intricacies and details of life, I continue to find poetry and ph

ilosophy in everything I see, which I then give voice to in everything I write. I hope you share that journey with me." About James Ser
James has lived and worked in Melbourne for three years, having first moved here to pursue academic studies. In the time he has been here, he has “learnt to enjoy the beautiful things around me by capturing precious moments with my camera. This has taught me a lot of things especially cultivating an eye for details". James is constantly inspired by the colours and details of the simple things in life and finds beauty in everything he sees.

Hello everyone! Thanks for your support over the years. James and I have since disbanded so there won’t be any more stories from us for a while. I’ve since started a new blog and promise to keep those positive stories coming! Stay connected. Nina x
