Mason Wagner

Mason's journey into travel blogging began 15 years ago during a sabbatical researching traditional distillation methods in Eastern Europe, where he discovered the profound connections between architecture, craft traditions, and cultural identity. What started as academic documentation evolved into a popular blog when his students encouraged him to share his insights more broadly, leading him to develop a second career documenting disappearing crafts and architectural styles while his wife and college-age daughter occasionally join his adventures.
