I am a traveler drawn to places most people pass through in two nights and move on from. I like staying longer — long enough to learn the rhythm of daily life, find a favorite food stall, and feel slightly known. Travel, for me, is about habits and routines: shared meals, family traditions, early mornings, and unhurried conversations. Through my writing, I explore how people live, cook, celebrate, and make a place feel like home.
