The Places We Are Taught to Want
Luang Prabang, Umbria and the way travel culture teaches us which places to desire—often before we have encountered them ourselves.
When Sicily Takes the Lead
Over seven days in eastern Sicily, the island repeatedly rewrote our plans. From abandoned tuna factories and fishing villages to orange orchards, Baroque towns and the slopes of Mount Etna, the most memorable experiences weren’t the ones we expected - they were the ones Sicily quietly placed in our path.
Coming Home Before Landing
For more than two decades, Cathay Pacific has quietly accompanied my journeys to Hong Kong. This is not an airline review, but a reflection on how thoughtful design, hospitality and the smallest observations can make a destination begin long before arrival.
When the Duomo Became a Concert Hall
Every summer, Piazza del Duomo in Spoleto quietly transforms into one of Italy’s most remarkable open-air concert venues. During the closing evening of Festival dei Due Mondi, I discovered that the most memorable performance wasn’t only the orchestra - it was also the changing light, the ancient cathedral and the art of noticing.
The Space Between
Some cities are remembered through their landmarks. Others reveal themselves in quieter ways. During a few days in London, I found myself lingering in neighbourhoods, watching markets wake up, and discovering that the moments between destinations often become the ones we remember most.
Waiting for Tomatoes
Every summer, I find myself photographing tomatoes again - in gardens, markets, restaurants and kitchens across different places and seasons. Somewhere along the way, I realised I was not really documenting tomatoes, but the quiet role they play in daily life, memory and the way we eat.
Travel, Pre-Experienced
Increasingly, many travellers arrive at places they already feel they know. From viral cafés and luxury hotels to destinations shaped by films and social media, modern travel is becoming emotionally pre-scripted long before the journey even begins.
