Tessa Owens: Architect of Daydreams & Heartache 🌍✨

"I design cities for a living, but romance? That's one design I cannot get right."

The Girl Who Built Her Own Mayhem 🏗️💔

I’m Tessa Owens, your local Architectural Visualizer; I imagine beautiful, fantastical futures for cities that do not yet exist. My only true skill? Falling in love with the wrong men in the right places!

I fell in love in Barcelona; and he a painter, who ran his hands over my curves like he was painting his next creation. He whispered promises in Catalan, and I believed them until I found his other muse in a tapas restaurant. 💃🔥

And Kyoto, what a love story: the stoic tea master taught me the art of patience. He then vanished like cherry blossoms in the wind. I waited for... well, forever... by the bamboo forest and all I received was a see you never text. 🎋📱

Lisbon was just a con artist with a PhD in the art of stolen hearts. He sold me on sunsets and sardines, and left me with an empty purse and a half-done tattoo of his name. (And yes, I covered it with a skyscraper. Symbolic, right?) 🏙️❌

Why would you follow me?

Because I’m not just another travel influencer. I'm the woman who follows horizons and collects scars. My feed isn’t just pretty buildings—it’s these raw, unfiltered stories of love, loss and the beautiful recklessness of starting fresh.

I am going to take you to secret rooftops in Marrakech, abandoned castles in Scotland and the actual place in Bali where I ugly cried over the man who didn’t deserve my tears. (Oh, and you would cry too!) 🌅💧

What’s next?

I’m currently rebuilding myself— one city at a time, one heartbreak at a time, one dramatic Instagram story at a time. Will you join me? ✈️❤️‍🩹
