Steven Sanders

Steven's journey into luxury travel blogging began during his doctoral research on medicinal plants in Brazil, where he unexpectedly found himself documenting the intersection of botanical traditions and cultural ceremonies. After his research gained attention for its unique blend of scientific rigor and cultural appreciation, he was invited to tea ceremonies in Japan and opera festivals in Italy, sparking a parallel career sharing these experiences online. Now permanently based in São Paulo with his partner and their adopted rescue dog, he balances his position at the university's botanical research center with his growing platform that bridges the worlds of science, culture, and luxury travel.
