Stories & slow travel guides

Whether you are crossing the Amazon rainforest by boat, travelling through Portugal in a van, or chasing hiking adventures and active volcanoes... Each place has its own story and every person will experience that story differently - that is one of the beautiful things about travelling. For me, slow travel is a mindset that is essential for authentic travel experiences and finding your own version of a place's story.

My slow travel guides equip you with tips on where to stay, where to eat, how to get around, and an idea of costs - including my digital nomad ratings.

The travel stories shared here give you another insight into these travel destinations and aim to inspire and motivate you to explore these places for yourself or experience them through reading!
