I've never been someone who set out chasing luxury travel. Give me a hostel dorm, a cave I have to squeeze through, or a dive boat rocking in the swell, and I'm perfectly content. That's been my default for most of the years I've spent moving through the world, usually solo.

The Train Journeys Worth Taking Even If Flying Is Faster
Modern travel often revolves around efficiency. Flights reduce journeys that once took days to just a few hours, making it possible to visit distant destinations over a single weekend.

Some of the world's most rewarding travel experiences happen at a slower pace, where the journey itself becomes as meaningful as the destination waiting at the … [Read more...]

Chasing Football Through Cities That Never Sit Still
Chasing football, especially during a World Cup Summer, through cities that never sit still has a way of rearranging priorities. I have missed trains, missed meetings and once slept on a bench because a last minute stoppage time goal kept me rooted to a terrace until dawn. The payoff is always the same though, a feeling that the game is less a contest and more a way of reading a city, its rhythms and its people. In Sarajevo a long throw-in became … [Read more...]
