As an investor/diplomat—I have now lived and worked across four continents and travel often to lesser-known parts of the world. Somewhere between living and working across four continents, long flights and late-night PowerPoints, I developed a habit: noting down the quirky, adventurous, and unforgettable bits of every place I visited, neatly in spreadsheets. This travelogue is those spreadsheets brought to life. It lets me play historian, storyteller, and slightly overexcited tour guide all at once
It is also my way of staying connected to the places and people I have encountered -guides, photographers, hikers, clubs, hotels, foods, or fellow travelers—which I reference and recommend. From hilarious history tour guides in Ethiopia, to charming bartenders in Rome. What it’s like to lock eyes with a silverback gorilla in Rwanda, or to see a snake charmer at my grandmother’s house in India
It’s a collection of experiences that have left a lasting impression on me and might strike a chord with you. And maybe inspire you to chase something curious
