Nina's Diary

Step into Nina’s private correspondence.

Nina is a 25-year-old aspiring photojournalist who leaves everything behind in New York to see the world in 1958, with Paris as her first stop. She’s determined to create the life she has imagined for herself, but the path is far from easy. Her friendships become an important source of support as she navigates the setbacks and uncertainty along the way.

She stays close to her friends through the letters they exchange. She writes about the books, photographs, places, history, and everyday moments that shape the way she sees the world.
