Type of trip
Sea air, scenic starts, and outdoorsy routes with room to breathe.
Field note Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal
Two cities, one river, many tiles, and one pastry lost to a seagull.
A Porto travel guide for a long weekend: Gaia viewpoints, azulejos, Francesinha, Aveiro, a sea chapel, Livraria Lello, markets, gardens and practical tips.
Field note Asturias, Spain
Very green, very beautiful, and very capable of raining the second you feel cinematic.
A slow escape along the Asturian coast with beautiful stops, good food ideas, and a route designed for not rushing.
Field note Kansai, Japan
Waking up early here almost feels like a good decision. Almost.
A gentle Kyoto itinerary for early walks, fewer crowds, temples, side streets, and calm breakfasts.
