When I first began writing blog posts over a decade ago, my aim was simple: to share my travel experiences and impressions with friends and family. It was like an online diary, capturing the essence of the journeys I wanted to chronicle, not just another fleeting post on social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram. My goal was to create detailed travel reports — by friends, for friends — sharing honest and authentic recommendations, just as one would in a cozy evening get-together.
The landscape of the online world has since evolved, and with it, my role. I’ve experienced both sides of the coin: as a travel storyteller and as a consultant guiding companies on how to capture compelling moments through new media and influencer collaborations. These experiences were often perfect, filled with wonderful impressions and great adventures, yet they diverged from my original intent.
Feeling the need for a significant change, I returned to my roots. The pursuit of the perfect photo or video had overshadowed the authentic sharing I cherished. Over recent months, I’ve indulged in private travels where hotels, airlines, and cruise lines were unaware of my blogging activities. This allowed me to reconnect with the joy of travel, letting new, unfiltered impressions sink in.
pureTRAVEL.tv has thus evolved back into a blend of seeking out the most beautiful and serene places, sharing local tips on hidden gems for dining and relaxation, and recounting the authentic experiences of someone who has spent over 1,000 nights in hotels in the last decade or so.
In these recent times, I’ve rediscovered many enchanting locales and new eateries through conversations with locals — places not typically highlighted by travel portals, offering unique, unspoiled experiences. These are the moments I now wish to share on pureTRAVEL.tv.
While I once frequently covered Michelin-starred restaurants, my palate now favors those off-the-beaten-path establishments, the undiscovered culinary gems. Currently, two others join me at irregular intervals, excited to share special moments and luxurious experiences with our readers.
Travel, after all, is about experiencing and learning from others, and we are genuinely looking forward to this journey together.
