About me

I was born in Tashkent and spent my twenties learning the road from the other end: courtyards, caravanserais, paper workshops and tile walls, a town at a time. I carry a notebook and write down what I would tell a friend about each place, where to stand, when to go and what to look at twice.

Every Thursday I post one stop from the road. What I sell is what makes the trip easy to plan: walking notes for each city, a route planner, a tile-spotting guide, an ebook and two video courses for anyone who wants to travel the old route with a plan.
