Travel
Finished guides from trips worth documenting.
This is a selective travel portfolio—not a tracker of everywhere I go. Each guide will combine first-hand experience, practical recommendations, and an edited photographic record.
Destination collection
Substantial journeys
The collection will remain deliberately small. A destination appears here only when there is enough material to produce a complete guide.
Shanghai
Beijing
Italy · Long-form collection
A different kind of guide
Italy through the perspective of living in Padua.
A polished collection could bring together culture, regional travel, university life, transport, language, food, and the practical details that are difficult to understand before spending meaningful time here.
Guide anatomy
One consistent standard for every destination.
Each guide should feel complete on its own while sharing a clear structure across the collection.
Introduction & overview
The context of the trip, who the guide is for, when I travelled, and what made the destination distinctive.
Places worth seeing
A considered selection with enough detail to decide what deserves time.
Things to try
Food, activities, neighbourhoods, and experiences that are specific to the destination.
Practical advice
Transport, booking, timing, money, and first-hand lessons that make the trip easier.
Hidden gems
Places that stood out but are easy to miss in a standard itinerary.
Do’s and don’ts
Mistakes to avoid, local expectations, and choices I would make differently.
Useful resources
Maps, transport services, booking tools, and references that proved worthwhile.
Photography
An edited visual record that adds atmosphere and context to the guide.
Recommended itinerary
A clear route informed by what worked—and what I would improve afterwards.
Possible presentation
Maps, galleries, concise recommendations, and one downloadable itinerary.
The design can become more visual as real material arrives, without exposing planning documents, travel logs, or private trip information.
