Kathryn & Dexar
Dexar
I’ve always charted my own routes by hand, no autopilot, so I’m curious how you navigate the winding streets of places like Istanbul or Kyoto without a digital compass.
Kathryn
I let my gut steer me, remembering where the baker was next to the fountain, the scent of spices at the corner, and the rhythm of the city’s pulse. A simple paper map is handy, but most of the way I walk, I follow the stories the streets whisper.
Dexar
It’s a nice way to keep the route alive. I’m usually the one tracing every curve by hand, but a gut‑guided walk has its own kind of map, doesn’t it? Keep that spice scent as your compass.
Kathryn
I love that you trace every curve, it turns the city into a living map. In Istanbul I let the scent of saffron pull me to the bazaars, and the smell became my compass. Both ways keep the journey alive.
Dexar
Saffron‑guided routes are the best kind, no GPS needed. Keep following those scents and the map will stay alive.
