      My Travel Journey Around the World

       

      As of July 2024, I’ve explored the corners of 74 countries. While my blog doesn’t yet capture every adventure, I’m gradually documenting each unique experience.

      My travels aren’t about ticking boxes on a world map. Instead, I seek destinations where I can wander safely while truly enjoying the local culture. Some places have become second homes, drawing me back repeatedly. There’s something magical about returning to a beloved city and discovering how neighborhoods evolve or finding hidden spots I previously missed.

      Paris in 2015 versus Paris today? Two completely different experiences worth comparing. The small café that replaced my favorite bakery in Tokyo? A delightful surprise on my third visit.

      At 34, I’ve mapped out ambitious yet achievable goals: reaching 100 countries before blowing out 40 candles on my birthday cake, and possibly 150 by the time I hit the half-century mark.

      Below, you’ll find detailed guides to destinations I’ve both visited and written about. Each entry reflects personal experiences rather than typical tourist suggestions—real adventures from someone who’s walked those streets.
