One December day in 2025, I got an email from BBC Travel congratulating me. My story, which was published that summer, had been selected as one of their favourites of the year. In their words:

“Every year, we publish hundreds of awe-inspiring, immersive travel articles from around the globe. These are the 10 that we couldn’t stop talking about this year – the ones that moved us, transformed us and reminded us how wonderfully diverse the world can be.”
