How I Travel

I’ve always loved travelling: absorbing new cultures, learning new languages, meeting new people and gaining new perspectives on the world we live in.
I’m endlessly curious, and I love expanding my comfort zone, shifting my mindset and growing as I go.

Five things bring me joy and fulfilment when I travel: adventures that expand my comfort zone, sunsets worth chasing, nature that slows me down, food that tells me where I am, and culture I can feel, not just see. Not every trip has all five, but every trip I’ve taken, from short getaways to long-term travel, has been shaped by at least one or two of them.

Before I go anywhere, I ask: where’s the adventure, where does the sun go down, where can I get outside, what do locals eat, and what can I learn? The answers shape where I stay, how long I linger and what I skip.

It’s slow, budget-conscious travel that puts experiences ahead of ticking off sights.

Seeking Adventures

I’ve spent the last few years expanding my comfort zone, from my first discovery dive to skydiving to learning to ride a motorbike in Hanoi traffic. Here you’ll find the adventures worth saying yes to!

Chasing Sunsets

I started travelling burnt out, and weeks of Croatian sunsets did more for me than anything else. These are the spots I’d go back for!

Embracing Nature

Woods, sea, a hammock between two trees and a sky full of stars. That’s where I’m happiest. Here are the beaches, hikes and wild places that make you slow down and breathe.

Savouring Cuisines

I grew up making pasta with my Italian grandparents and buñuelos with my grandma, so food is how I get to know a place. Here’s what to eat, where locals eat, and the dishes I still dream about.

Absorbing Culture

I speak five languages and always try to learn a few words of the local one, because language is a key to new worlds. Here’s how to experience local life, from phrases to festivals, without the tourist traps.
