Growing up in the US, you’re generally taught—either indirectly or directly—to fear large chunks of the world. Uzbekistan would easily fall into the “fear” category, both because it’s largely unknown where I come from and because it’s a “Stan.” Like Afghanistan with its Taliban. And by the property of Stan, they must be the same thing.
Obviously reality is just a tad more nuanced than that. The fact is, Uzbekistan—which just means Land of the Uzbeks—is a wildly safe country, full of fascinating history and modern culture, both on and off the tourist path of the Silk Road.
Besides all of the incredible Islamic architecture, there’s a culture of craftsmanship, fashion, and hospitality that just warms the soul.
Not to mention, these mountains are right in their backyard.
Now with all that in mind… Would you go to Uzbekistan?
Is it the rocky coastal views, the food, the historic, human-sized towns, or perhaps, the people — from the trail-side chef to the olive oil farmer?
I imagine that, like a recipe, they all work together, making this slice of southern Portugal one of those regions in the world whose name alone sparks curiosity or, if you’ve been before, a wistful smile.
One of the perks of being a travel writer who — not to brag — makes bupkis for a living is that *sometimes* you’re invited for a brief taste of the good life — a day at the spa with all the comforts of a five-star hotel.
That’s what brought me out for my first visit to the Algarve, invited by the Kimpton Atlantico, to get a taste of the region in winter, immerse myself in its wildly diverse natural surroundings, and ring in the new year.
Then, we’d head east to Tavira to visit a friend, run around the salt fields, and explore this historic city with visible roots in medieval Moorish rule.

This little video comes from a snowshoe hike along the western Tian Shan Mountains. “Stan,” by the way, just means “land of.” So, land of the Uzbeks in this case. Nothing to be afraid of, folks.
Thanks again to,, and for having me out. Much more to come!
My journey along the Silk Road began where I least expected it — a ski resort. But it ended up being a rewarding way to begin the trip, not least of all because of the two days spent outdoors basking under the healing glow of unfettered sunshine.
In travel, we often say we want to travel like the locals. But if you think about it, most locals aren’t frequenting the historic sites. They’re gathering with friends and family to, in the case of Tashkent-based Uzbeks, hit the slopes for a day trip or weekend of fun.
Thanks to for having me out! It may not have been how I expected to start my first visit to Uzbekistan, but it certainly beats running into Genghis Kahn. Stay tuned for more in my piece for.
Now onwards to Bukhara and Samarkand!
May the American Gestapo wannabes meet an even swifter end than their German progenitor.
Look, I know there are wildly more important things going on in the world right now. But this is part of a larger issue of how companies are using AI to replace creative talent. And it’s an insult to local creatives and viewers, not to mention the environment.
These tests are to see how much an organization can get away with using AI slop instead of paying people to make creative content. It’s a stepping stone in the continuing dumbing down of art and storytelling. So it’s important to push back now and call it out for the garbage that it is before all we’re presented with is AI slop.
Thank you for reading my TedTalk.
Now, here are some actual Berlin creatives with a pulse worth following:
I’m sure I’m missing plenty, so feel free to add your favorites in the comments!
I’m not just talking about leaving your home, eating nice food, and snapping some selfies in front of TripAdvisor’s “top things to do” list for wherever in the world.
I mean: When is the last time you had an unexpected conversation with a stranger in a foreign countryside, trying to communicate with nothing more than well-meaning gestures and a friendly smile?
When is the last time you’ve arrived in a country or a region to challenge the narrative of what corporate news and media have to say about a place? When is the last time you woke up and thought, “I don’t know what’s happening today,” or “I don’t know where I’m going next”?
That, my friends, is travel. And whether it’s for ourselves or the places we claim to love, we need to start traveling again.
Watch the full video on my channel where I talk about the “traveler vs tourist” debate, explains how we’re wired to see out meaningful travel experiences, how travel is safer than we think, and how to start traveling again.
