About this writer
I fly for the Air Force and write about travel on the side. Spending years in a cockpit changes how you look at places — you land somewhere new and instinctively start reading the layout, the pace, what makes it tick. That habit ended up shaping how I put these guides together.
Most of what I cover is Europe: routes that actually make sense, places to stay that are worth what they cost, and the small details you only notice when you show up in person.
The author's take
Stepping into a new city, getting a feel for how it works — that's really why I do this.
