Core Interests

Language and Connection

Traveling with the intention of speaking the local language, even at a basic level. A belief that language creates the deepest connection to a culture.

Books as Travel Companions

Reading a place's history, literature, and essays before arriving. Understanding what writers have written about the places we visit.

History in the Streets

Seeing historical sites not as museum attractions, but as living spaces where history continues to unfold. Understanding archaeology, architecture, and storytelling.

Food and Pastries

Local cuisine as an expression of history, geography, and culture. From market stalls to hidden family-run bakeries – food as a window into the soul of a place.

Favorite Destinations

Naples landscape

Naples

A city where past, present, and future all exist at once. Roman ruins beneath modern streets, churches full of artistic masterpieces next to corner pizzerias. The street culture is vibrant, the food unforgettable, and every corner tells a story of power, art, and survival.

Thessaloniki landscape

Thessaloniki

An underrated city that layers history like archaeological deposits. Roman arches next to Byzantine churches next to Ottoman mosques. The waterfront is tranquil, the café culture runs deep, and stories ranging from Alexander the Great to the modern refugee crisis permeate every place.

Porto landscape

Porto

A city clinging to a river and holding centuries of trade and craftsmanship. The old town is a maze of winding alleys, blue azulejos, and hidden bars. Douro wine comes from the terraced vineyards just outside the city, and the local cuisine is hearty and authentic.

Budapest landscape

Budapest

A city with genuine imperial history and cultural depth. The thermal baths, the Danube, Austro-Hungarian-era architecture – all tied together by music, cafés, and unforgettable culinary experiences. A city that deserves time to explore and tells endless stories.
