About

Hello! The creator of this website is me, a traveler, storyteller, and inquisitive person who thinks that the greatest life stories take place far from familiar places and off the usual tourist route.

My passion for experiencing new places firsthand—walking their backstreets, trying their cuisine, chatting to locals, getting lost, finding my way, and capturing the kinds of moments that don’t make for Instagram captions—led me to create this website.

All of the articles I write here are based on personal experience. I don’t write about locations that I haven’t been to. I’m not going to sell you a fantasy. Real stories, unfiltered feelings, and candid observations—both the highs and the messy moments—are what you’ll find here. Because that’s what true travel is all about: stunning, erratic, and unforgettable.

I want to bring you along, whether it’s to a secluded island in Yemen, a serene Georgian village, or a historic street in Istanbul. Not only to offer advice, but also to demonstrate the significance of these locations and what sets them apart from all the other travel destinations you’ve read about.

You’re in the right place if you’re the type of traveler who prefers stories to selfies, connection over convenience, and authenticity over luxury.

Together, let’s explore the world to see what it can reveal about us as well as where it might lead us.

Welcome to the adventure.
