Why Travellers Are Obsessed With It
Texture hunting transforms travel from a checklist into a slow walk through a neighbourhood. Instead of staring at Google Maps, you’re looking at walls, pavements, pillars, tiles, and old shopfronts. Many travellers say it helps them feel more grounded and present. Walking slowly, touching surfaces, and noticing patterns makes you experience a new city more intimately. You also end up discovering corners you would never have visited otherwise — a quiet lane with old Portuguese tiles, an abandoned building with peeling paint, or an old café with ornate iron gates. Every print becomes a memory stamped into your notebook.
