Narrow, gabled houses and floating houseboats line concentric waterways that outnumber Venice, while canal-side cafes and more world-class museums per square meter than any other city invite discovery.

Hello!

I resigned from a corporate career in product design & development to explore the world. Although my goal was to travel for a year, 8 years later, I’ve been honored to have explored 65 gorgeous countries and met some incredible people. Our world truly is a beautiful place!

If you wonder how I came up with the name Gorgeous Unknown, it’s from this Anthony Bourdain quote, “Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.”

This is so true for me. I adore exploring new places, meeting people from different cultures, and trying new foods.

So follow me into the gorgeous unknown by subscribing below. You’ll receive details on my favorite destinations, detailed travel guides, tips and more.
