Hi! I left my job in 2023 to travel the world. So far, I’ve explored almost 100 countries
Before that, I traveled all over China — visiting 600+ cities
I love sharing stories, learning from locals, and discovering hidden places.
Not just a traveler — a story collector!

Music, Movies, and Books

I’ve watched over 8,000 films，and adore exploring cinematic extremes—from poetic minimalism to delirious chaos. My pantheon includes:

Bergman · Tarkovsky · Kiarostami · Ray · Dreyer · Mizoguchi · Ozu · Naruse

Godard · Pasolini · Ferreri · Lynch · Jodorowsky · Von Trier · Sono · Lee Chang-dong

Hitchcock · Kurosawa · Leone · Lang · Bresson · Wilder · Polanski · Carpenter

Leos Carax · Jacques Rivette · Švankmajer · Parajanov · Čiurlionis · Ču Lai

Varda · Fellini · Truffaut · Herzog · Tati · Kieslowski · Kusturica · Cuarón

For years, I’ve immersed myself in the profound depths of non-fiction literature, but nothing captivates me more than the tangible legacy of human creativity. Driven by my travels and insatiable curiosity, I’ve built an extensive digital library dedicated entirely to the artistic and archaeological marvels of ancient and historic civilizations.

My collection spans continents and eras:
- Persia’s delicate miniatures and poetic calligraphy,
- India’s temple carvings and vibrant textile traditions,
- Egypt’s tomb paintings and monumental architecture,
- China’s jade rituals and ink-wash masterpieces,
- Japan’s ukiyo-e prints and tea ceremony aesthetics,
- Khmer’s celestial stone dancers at Angkor Wat,
- Russia’s onion domes and iconography,
- Greece’s sculpted ideals of beauty,
- Rome’s engineering triumphs and mosaic narratives,
- Ottoman Iznik tiles and imperial craftsmanship,
- Africa’s ritual masks and bronze Benin art,
- Maya astronomical codices and stepped pyramids,
- Aztec turquoise mosaics and mythic stone sculptures.

These carefully curated PDFs explore not just aesthetics, but the soul of cultures — examining symbolism, archaeological discoveries, religious contexts, and the socio-political forces that shaped these artistic traditions. Through my journeys, I’ve sought texts that bridge academic rigor with accessible storytelling, creating a living tapestry of human ingenuity.
