Dear fellow wanderers in search of quiet beauty,

Welcome - I’m so glad you’re here.

This is Old Sport—a travel journal for those who believe that beauty matters, slow mornings deserve savoring, and the world often reveals its truest self not in itineraries, but in little things. For people who notice the quiet details. The ones that feel like story beginnings: an espresso cup left half-full, a folded city map softening in a coat pocket, a matchbook from a bar that doesn’t exist online.

Yes, I adore a slow morning - but don’t be fooled. My travel style is more on the fast-paced side. I’m usually chasing the next pastry case, charming alleyway, or photo stop I bookmarked at midnight. Ten miles a day? Absolutely - fueled by caffeine, curiosity, and the promise of an aesthetic dinner spot with food as pretty as the lighting.

Think of Old Sport as your travel companion—the one who knows which café has the coziest corner, which bar serves the prettiest spritz, and why a perfectly timed detour can be the highlight of the day.

Here you’ll find field notes from faraway places, guides written like love letters, photo essays from forgotten corners, and stories sparked by espresso, architecture, and afternoon light.

This isn’t just a blog. It’s a celebration - of old-world charm, of everyday elegance, of cities that breathe and landscapes that hush you.

So consider this your invitation. Wander with me, linger a while, and let’s make beauty part of the journey.

- Emily
