explore the caucasus

You may just love it :)

Here you will find stories from the Caucasus- its people, past, and places.

From history and geography to food and everyday culture, I create videos, essays, and content that help Western audiences understand this hidden gem of a region beyond headlines and clichés.

Drawing on archives and interviews, I focus on context, care, and nuance while I prepare for future fieldwork in the region.
