Tbilisi: A Maze of Wine and Warmth

Tbilisi doesn’t let you just visit—it pulls you in, spins you around, and leaves you dizzy with its charm. I arrived in Georgia’s capital with a vague plan: wander the old town, maybe find a decent khachapuri.

Kyoto: Cherry Blossoms and Quiet Stories

Kyoto in spring is a cliché for a reason—cherry blossoms turn the city into a painting, petals drifting like soft snow. I arrived in March, chasing hanami season, but found something deeper: a city that whispers its stories if you’re willing to listen.

August 2023

Lima: Ceviche and Street Art Dreams

Lima is a city that sneaks up on you. It’s not love at first sight—gray skies, honking taxis, and a sprawl that feels endless.

February 2024

Naples is a city that grabs you by the collar and dares you to keep up. It’s loud, gritty, and gloriously alive, with alleys that feel like a Scorsese film and pizza that’s practically a religion.

Bucharest: Books, Poets, and Post-Communist Pulse

Bucharest is a city of contrasts, where grand boulevards meet crumbling communist blocks, and hipster cafés share walls with Orthodox churches.

October 2024

Oaxaca: Dancing with the Dead

Oaxaca during Día de los Muertos is a riot of life. The streets bloom with marigolds, altars glow with candles, and the air hums with mezcal and memory.

March 2025

Hanoi: Egg Coffee and Scooter Symphonies

Hanoi is a city that moves like a river—fast, fluid, unstoppable. Scooters swarm the streets, their horns a chaotic symphony, while old women sell pho from sidewalk stalls and French colonial buildings loom like ghosts.

Lisbon: Fado, Tiles, and Tangles of Time

Lisbon feels like a city caught in a wistful song. Its hills are draped in pastel buildings, their azulejo tiles glinting under the September sun, while trams rattle like old storytellers spilling secrets.
