Some journeys stay with us long after we return home.
This page is a collection of travel stories, reflections, and moments gathered along the way — from familiar cities to places I had only dreamed of visiting.
Not every memory comes from a famous landmark.
Sometimes it’s a ferry ride across a river.
A cup of tea overlooking a city.
A quiet hotel library.
Or simply a walk back to the hotel after dinner.
These are the journeys that found a home in Ashes in the Light.
