This is where the wandering happens. Museumist began as a museum blog, and Estonia’s museums are still its beating heart, but the honest truth is that I can’t sit still for long. On this page, you find everything else: the road trips, the coastlines I keep driving back to, the cities that surprised me, and the few that didn’t live up to the hype. What you’ll find here is the first-person version, not the glossy brochure one. If a place is overrated, I’ll say so. If a tiny harbour restaurant changed the way I think about food, you’ll hear about it in detail. Pick a country on the map above and start there. Each guide is written the way I’d answer a friend who asked, “Where should I actually go, and what’s worth my time?”
