A Journey in His Stories

August 18, 2025 • by Leonardo Sarti

I began to line up places and thoughts when I realized travel isn’t a pause but a way to be in things. I walk, listen, jot down a few words. Pictures come later, when my head is quieter.

Start slow

The first loop is without a camera. I read light, sounds and gestures. I pick a theme—a line, a colour, a rhythm—which helps me say no to the rest.

Low-complexity places

Choosing well is half the work. I favour walkable towns, clean horizons and meaningful light at dawn or dusk. I stay long enough to return: second passes are always clearer.

Essential routine

• Short notes on the phone: three lines, no more.
• Two-step review, 24 hours apart.
• Few, consistent images with a short text explaining intent.

Why I tell stories

I tell to remember well. Not everything—just what matters. A detail, a street, the way light slides on a wall. That’s where travel turns into story.
