New Delhi → Tirana

From Old Delhi's aromatic spice markets, we follow the trail of injera and berbere to Addis Ababa — because both cities know that a market isn't just shopping, it's a full sensory conversation.

From the largest open-air market in Africa to the shores of Gorée Island — both cities carry the weight of history in their bones, where colonial trauma and resilience are written into the very ground you walk on.

From Gorée Island's haunting colonial chapter, we sail into Istanbul's layered imperial past — where Ottoman walls, Byzantine ruins, and centuries of empire whisper the same uncomfortable truths about power and memory.

From knotting threads in an Ottoman carpet workshop, we cross the Adriatic to Tirana — where Albanian artisans know that hands that weave and cook together tell a culture's deepest story.
