I write stories, but sometimes even words need a holiday. And I’ve always loved travel. These travel photos (from 2024) are the snapshots that didn’t make it into the novel—too scenic, too weird, or too full of goats. Think of this as the director’s cut of my travel brain. Sometimes a photo tells the story better. Enjoy the view, no passport required.

(P.S. My personal favourite photo is the last one!)
