A note from Ruth
A good travel story does more than tell you where to go. It gives you a reason to look closer.
I’m a freelance travel and food journalist writing for magazines and newspapers about Central Europe and the Baltics. My work follows the details that make a place legible: what’s on the table, what people value, and how the landscape shapes daily life.
