Vision
Where this road
is heading.
Not just travel — a life built around meaning, motion, and making things that last.
Motto
"Be the traveler who gets told: come back again."
Travel is, at its core, a deeply personal act — going where you want, when you want. But the ability to travel at all exists because of the countries that welcome us, and the people across history who built the roads beneath our feet. That's why I carry gratitude with me wherever I go. Not as a tourist passing through, but as someone who wants to leave something positive behind — in the places, and in the people.
Vision 1
100 countries in 20 years
I'm 31. I'm giving myself 20 years to travel deeply through 100 countries.
That's roughly 5 countries a year, spending 1.5 to 2 months in each place — long enough to stop being a visitor and start actually seeing. Every country I pass through, I want to turn into something: an article, a magazine, a record of what it felt like to be there. Not just to document the world, but to treat it with the care it deserves.
Vision 2
100 countries, 100 travel essays
The moments I want to capture aren't always the dramatic ones.
Sometimes it's the terror of being chased by a dog. Sometimes it's the feeling of wind on your face while walking a road you've never walked before. The taste of something you can't name. The rhythm of a place settling into your body. These things disappear — and that's exactly why I write them down.
I'm building a body of travel essays that live somewhere between a blog and literature: raw enough to be honest, crafted enough to last. One for every country. One hundred in total.
Vision 3
Books that go deeper than the journey
Alongside the essays, I write books.
My first was written not about what I saw on the road, but about what brought me there — the inner landscape before departure. I believe the story of how you arrive somewhere matters just as much as what you find when you do.
Going forward, I want to push further: into fiction, into new forms, into whatever shape the journey demands. Travel has a way of making the world feel urgent and alive. I want to put that feeling into print — and leave it somewhere people can return to.
