The non-fake report
Travel fiction from real places.
I got tired of writing “10 Best Cafés in Prague” posts and started asking better questions. What if a travel blogger could time-travel to a plague outbreak in medieval Olomouc? What if a woman visited Moldova just before the world ended?
The adventures are invented. The places, research, and feelings behind them are not.
What I make
Short stories set in real places: an apocalypse in Moldova, a spy learning how to live on Slovenia’s coast, a tourist trapped in a parallel dimension in Buenos Aires, and a conspiracy beneath Oslo’s most famous statues.
Think Black Mirror meets Rick Steves.
Who I am
I am a traveler who has visited 61 countries and taken thousands of photographs. A large majority of the site’s images come from those real journeys.
The most interesting travel stories are not always the ones that happened.
Why I am open
These stories are human-directed and co-written with AI. I think creative work is changing, and I would rather be candid about the tools involved than pretend they are not there.
I am figuring this out in public. Readers are welcome to be skeptical.
How the stories are made
The research, concepts, characters, emotional arcs, and creative direction are mine. AI helps with draft text, variations, scenes, structure, and flow. Then I revise extensively, reject anything off-voice, and make the final call on every story.
Human judgment leads. AI is a collaborator, not a substitute for it.
Judge the work yourself.
Start with the stories, then decide whether the collaboration bothers you once you are invested. I am curious if it will.
