What makes my travel content unique
- I’ve traveled full-time since 2016, speak 5 languages, and often spend longer in a place than a “typical tourist”. I’ve spent months in many of the countries featured and traveled within them a lot. Some of them I return to regularly!
- While some are more about places looking good in photos, I’m more about the reality. My content is centered around people, places, experiences, lifestyles, perspectives, and cultures. I always want to give you a realistic idea of what it is.
- Wherever I go, I always invest time in understanding the place and exploring in a similar way as the locals. Often in collaboration with contacts and friends from the area. While I’ll visit the main attractions, I’ll always look for places and experiences outside of the mainstream – that will help you understand what really makes it special!
