Welcome to Humana Lens
Humana Lens is a blog for travel guides and tips through cultural heritage sites, national monuments, big cities, and small towns. You may also find book notes and soon there will be more!
Why this name? It represents an attempt to see all things cultural through a human eye, as precious human creations rather than a tick on a bucket list, a viral place to visit, or a perfect Instagrammable spot.
Respectful, Conscious
Way of Approaching
Art, History and Culture
Would we act differently if only aware of the value of what we are visiting, reading or experiencing?
If visiting a place should take two hours we try to do that in one, just as we rush to read a 400-page book in two days to complete a challenge.
In a world where we always strive to be more conscious regarding how we consume, eat, recycle, and live, we often don't give much attention to how we travel and learn new things - and how fast all this has sadly become or how much this mindset can affect people and places.
A conscious approach to travel and culture reminds us that learning and truly experiencing something new always takes some time but can be so very rewarding.
This blog's goal is to cover both hyper-tourist spots - often seen too quickly - and lesser-known destinations, sometimes neglected but with so much to tell. And there will be room for all kinds of good books that one after the other can hopefully make us more culturally aware.
About Me
A History graduate pursuing a career in PR, I am from Europe and in my early 30s and I have an absolute passion for everything Middle Ages, China, and geopolitics. English is not my native language but I try my best.

As a journalist-to-be, I wish writing to come easy to me someday. The idea for this blog came to me while I was practicing the art, and the prospect of inspiring other people to see every piece of this world as an unmissable chance to enrich our souls felt too good not to give it a try - hope you'll enjoy the content!
