What we’re about
Backstory is the story behind the story—where the protagonists have been, what they've experienced, why they are where they are. It’s the literary ingredient that thickens the plot and enlivens the narrative. It's how we get to know—and connect with—a book's characters.
But [backstory] isn't just for books.
Unearthing others' backstories is one of the best parts of living a life abroad: What brought you here? And maybe as importantly, what’s kept you here?
[backstory] bookshop is where you can get to know—and connect with—characters, both on and off the page. It's the inclusive, community-centered space where swerving paths, bold decisions, and happy accidents can intersect.

Learn the principles of sustainable eating and understand the environmental impact of your food choices based on science. All while discovering ways to reduce waste, energy consumption, and carbon footprints. We will explore eco-friendlier alternatives and learn how to incorporate more plant-based meals.We will be reading Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows by Melanie Joy. This book explains how we all live in a social construction where eating animals is the right thing to do. However, is the planet in a situation where social constructions are a reason to keep ignoring climate change? Reducing meat is one of the biggest steps you can do to reduce climate disasters. By choosing more plants, we decrease the demand for animal farming, which in turn lowers greenhouse gas emissions, minimizes deforestation, conserves water, protects biodiversity, and reduces pollution. Each plant-based meal is a step toward a more sustainable and environmentally friendly food system, helping to protect the planet for future generations.
