Hi, I'm Ednan
I go, I pay for it, and I write down what it actually cost.
Travel guides with real numbers instead of estimates, visa and airline news that can change a plan overnight, and whatever research I've fallen into lately. I lectured for years, and the habit of checking things twice never left.

Who is writing this
I spent years standing in front of university classrooms before I ever thought about picking up a camera.
As a lecturer I worked with students from all kinds of cultural backgrounds, and it taught me more about people than any textbook could.
