To all who wandered here,
Welcome to Cross World Reads
Cross World Reads is a creative lifestyle blog and a makeshift personal reference library rolled in one. This space is a homage to the part of myself who wants to build an archive of the explorations, experimentations, and creations to readers who wander to this corner of the internet!
I read, watch, get thrown into many tangents and trails of allusion, synthesize my many musings, and let them live here! Think of this space as a sandbox, a campfire, or the never-ending sky — whichever leads you to moments of wonder, awe, and gratitude in the infinite expanses around us.


and meet the Writer!
I’m Gale (she/they/siya), a tiny but mighty gust of wind or laughter (depending on who you ask). When I’m not in cyberspace, you’ll find me teaching writing, mentoring young-professionals-to-be, and researching various topics for people who are looking for knowledge. A wanderer at heart, I read, write, art journal, sing, and go cafe and library-hopping across the city on the weekends.
And if you must know, I am also…
- An INFJ (a ‘very-out-of-the-way’ kind of advocate character)
- A Leo Rising, Taurus Moon — and a Gemini at heart
- An Enneagram Type 5 (Investigator)
