Stories worth travelling through.
From the landscapes of the world we know to the forgotten worlds of imagination, my books begin with curiosity and follow it wherever it leads.

Published work
Uncharted Earth
How does geography influence the course of human history? Through six extraordinary islands, Uncharted Earth explores the powerful relationship between place and destiny, weaving together history, geography, anthropology, and storytelling.
From isolated communities and mysterious monuments to rare ecosystems and abandoned industrial settlements, each island reveals a different story of human adaptation, culture, resilience, and change.
The closing reflection, The Seventh Island, turns the question inward: how do geography, opportunity, and our own journeys shape who we become?
Six islands. Six remarkable stories.
North Sentinel Island
Isolation, autonomy, and a community’s enduring separation from modern civilization.
Easter Island (Rapa Nui)
The Moai and a remarkable cultural legacy on one of the world’s most remote islands.
Socotra
An extraordinary ecosystem and the biodiversity that makes it unlike anywhere else.
Ilha da Queimada Grande
Snake Island, natural isolation, and the unusual paths of evolution.
Hashima Island
Industrial ambition, economic change, and the rise and decline of an island settlement.
Poveglia
Quarantine history, disease control, and the legends surrounding an island of whispers.
Different books. The same curiosity.
Whether reflecting on the real world or imagining a forgotten one, I write to explore ideas, human experience, and the questions that stay with us long after the last page.
