If I could only use three words to describe my travel style, they would be:

Informed

Efficient

Inspired

I love traveling and getting the most out of the places I visit. By that, I mean I like to understand the history of where I am going, what makes it unique, and what are the best places where I could learn & enjoy its culture.

That’s not to say I don’t take time off to relax. But most of the time, when visiting a city I like to ensure I've walked its most historic streets, seen the finest art, enjoyed great food, and learned as much as possible.

If that style of traveling calls to you, you might enjoy my travel notes below. These are guides I wrote mostly for myself or to help friends navigate a place I am very familiar with. If you use one and it’s helpful to you, I’d love to hear from you!
