This is the first of several retrospectives on my various Ruin Hunts around the world over the years. This edition covers my first trip to Turkey & Greece in 2011.
Thanks for so much for taking the time write this piece Michael! Your recent travels have completely captivated me and been fun to follow on substack. I’ve been in love with antiquity since I twelve. When I lived in Europe, my highlights were visiting Roman and Greek monuments.
Yesss, the dream! At the time I was living in the Netherlands in a town called Wassenaar. Even after living in Europe, there were so many countries I never visited, like Turkey (😭) most of Eastern Europe and the Nordic countries

Sounds like we have that in common! If I had a home base in Europe (I’m thinking about it), I would go nuts and visit EVERYTHING.

Thanks Michael. I've traveled much and appreciate your perspective on your experience.
