Red Square of Moscow
There are places that smack you in the face the moment you set foot in them. Red Square is one of those places. Less a tourist attraction, more a stone colossus of history staring you down. Welcome to Moscow, comrade. This isn’t Paris, and it sure as hell isn’t Disneyland.
The black balsam of Riga
When I set out to explore a new city, I tend to look for the odd things that will expand my horizon. Some day someone will say that I should be careful what I wish for.
Driving across Scotland
We came, we saw, we scarfed down haggis like maniacs. Over two hundred kilometers in seven days, chasing the horizon through cities, forgotten villages and empty landscapes where the only traffic jams were wandering sheep.

The Atlas Mountains loomed in the distance like ancient gods, silent and unmoved, watching my bus snake its way up and over their jagged spines. Every curve was a gamble. Every oncoming bus a reminder that mortality often rides on four wheels and has questionable brakes.
The legacy of Gaudí in Barcelona
If there is anyone who has placed their mark on Barcelona, it would be Antoni Gaudí. His surreal fever dreams still rise above it all. Melting stone, warped towers and twisted shapes that seem more hallucination than architecture.
Exploring Costa Brava
There’s a jagged beauty to the Costa Brava. This stretch of Catalonian coastline isn’t the soft postcard of Spain. It’s defiant and salt-crusted, a coastline where the Pyrenees nosedive into the Mediterranean like they’ve had enough of the world.
