A life spent exploring
Travel is the fastest education I know. I grew up in multicultural Toronto, studied in Denmark, and have been moving through Europe ever since — chasing local food, unscripted conversations, and the kind of places you only find when you stop following the itinerary.
How I travel
I'm not a checklist traveller. The best days always come from the same three things: eating where locals eat, talking to people who actually live there, and leaving enough slack in the day to wander when something looks interesting.
"You learn more about a place in one long dinner with a stranger than in a week of museums."
Food is how I read a city. A bakery in Lisbon, a tagine in Marrakech, a ramen counter in Tokyo, a Hungarian grandmother's goulash — the plates tell you who lives there, what they grow, who they traded with, and what they do with a free afternoon.
A few that stuck
Canada
Toronto
Where I grew up — the multicultural city that set the baseline for how I read every other one.
Norway
Bergen
Fjords, rain, and wooden houses painted like a postcard. A city that rewards slow walking.
Sweden · Lapland
Kiruna
Arctic silence, snow up to the windows, and a sky that occasionally decides to put on a show.
Spain
Granada
The Alhambra at dusk is its own argument for travel. Tapas that come free with a drink.
Turkey
Istanbul
Two continents, one skyline. Every meal in a city built on the idea that dinner is a conversation.
Hungary
Budapest
Ruins, baths, late dinners. The country of my roots — always a plate of paprika waiting.
Why I keep going
Every new place rewires something. You come back a slightly different version of yourself — more patient, more curious, a little less sure that the way you do things is the only way to do them. That's the part that never stops being worth the ticket.
