the journey

My journey has been, above all, an ethnographic adventure – often an unusual one. It has taken me through a series of transformative personal, professional and cultural experiences. It was set in motion by a mixture of restlessness, boldness and curiosity – by an inner call stronger than my roots, or perhaps the desire to create new ones – and has been sustained ever since by an insatiable curiosity to discover what lies beyond the familiar. To borrow Anthony Bourdain's words, I have always been "hungry for more".

the adventuerer

In the tradition of Ibn Battuta, the Maghrebi scholar; Marco Polo, the Venetian merchant; and Malinowski, the Polish ethnographer, I see myself as a daring nomad—an explorer of both the world and the mind. My quests are driven by encounters with people, immersion in cultural difference, and the pursuit of knowledge. My adventures are an instrument of personal growth, emerging from the confrontation of my own beliefs and values through sustained engagement with the other, the new, and the unknown, in an ongoing practice of ethnographic observation.

ethnomotion

Ethnomotion is an invitation to share a collection of thoughts, impressions and memories drawn from my travels—my 'ethno-quest'—through photography and storytelling. An attempt to weave together my yesterday, my today and my tomorrow into a single thread.
