Where Curiosity Becomes a Compass
At the crossroads of travel, myth, and art — wander into lost places, uncover uncanny curiosities, and explore collage kits, oracle decks, and stories inspired by strange discoveries.
An atlas for creative souls who follow the pull of the peculiar.
Lost Adventures is a space for those who see the world as a living oracle — where travel, myth, and art intertwine.
Through storywandering and creative alchemy, I turn uncanny encounters and forgotten places into digital collage kits, oracle decks, and reflective stories that invite you to look closer, wander deeper, and find beauty in the strange.

Some journeys are chosen for their mystery. Others are chosen because your child turns eighteen and I wanted to mark the occasion with her first trip abroad. Benidorm was never on my personal map of dream destinations, but this trip isn’t about ticking off a place — it’s about being there for a milestone, even…

72 Hours in Krakow, Poland
My introduction to Krakow began immediately with a taste. Moments after landing, I bought a warm obwarzanki—that dense, chewy, sesame-studded, bagel-like ring—and ate it on the bus journey into the city centre. The simple, bready warmth was the first sensory anchor. Stepping off, the morning light became the second: a pale, soft gold washing over…

Kraków: The City of Pigeons and Other Small Sorceries
I hadn’t expected to go to Kraków. The idea came from an unexpected source: my hairdresser.

Then she…
