72 hours in Lisbon (and one very lost afternoon)

Tiled alleyways, custard tarts eaten standing up, and the tram I definitely got on going the wrong way.

Slow mornings in Kyoto: a walking guide

Bamboo groves before the crowds, matcha in a garden, and the tiny bakery I still dream about.

hi, i'm Lark ✿
about me

Six years, thirty-eight countries, one very battered notebook.

I started Wanderlark in a Lisbon hostel with wet hair and no plan. Since then it's grown into a slow-travel journal read by almost a hundred thousand people who'd rather linger than tick boxes.

I write about the small stuff — the bakery around the corner, the bus that never came, the stranger who insisted we join their dinner. If it's soft, slow, and a little bit magic, it lives here.
