Likes:
✓ Story-soaked cities with museums, libraries, old theatres, and galleries
✓ Quiet corners: courtyard cafés, bookshops, and reading nooks
✓ Local legends, folklore tours, and a good story
✓ Little details that feel magical: handwritten menus, creaky staircases, secret viewpoints
Dislikes:
✗ “Could be anywhere” hotels
✗ Tick-box sightseeing and rushed group tours with no time to wander
✗ Crowded places where you can’t hear yourself think or notice the details
✗ Destinations that feel overpolished instead of alive with real culture
