Hi! I’m Anders, a passionate traveller and storyteller who loves sharing the hidden sides of every city I visit. I’ve spent years exploring places across Europe and Southeast Asia and Latin America. From old streets and food markets to local traditions that most tourists never see.
My walks are friendly, relaxed, and full of fun stories. I like to mix real history with small cultural details and everyday life. You’ll get the facts, but also the humour, the personality, and the local energy that make each place unique.
If you enjoy walking, laughing, and learning something new along the way, come join me. You’ll leave with good memories, local insight, and maybe a few new friends too
