welcome to my little corner on the internet

Solo & Neuro Adventures

I am a fun traveler or so l like to believe.

I take myself out on dates, explore new places, make a complete fool of myself, be a boss one day and the most socially awkward creature the next, reply the bank lady with a “You too” when she says “Have a safe flight”, get lost a million times and yet somehow always make it home (thank you Google Maps), and most importantly, never ever stress about airports.

It’s a pity no one gets to witness it.

Traveling alone across the world, especially as a girl, is one of the most beautiful things I have done on my journey as an IMG. To relish the little ups and downs of living like a vagabond while juggling the many aspects of a residency application, I have started this blog. It’s a personal diary of sorts, to document memories for myself, but if it helps someone overcome the fear of solo traveling or feel a little less alone, it would be my greatest pleasure!

About Me

Hello, I am Rida, an international medical graduate (IMG) from Dow Medical College, Karachi, Pakistan. I have completed an intern year in Pakistan and pursuing neurology residency in the US.

Outside of neurology, I am passionate about creative writing, reading, graphic designing and baking. This place is my dumping ground where I experiment combining my non-medical interests with medicine. Feel free to say hello, wish me luck, or reach out for any help!
