Hi all, my name is Ben. I’m a native Michigander with a passion for human culture and new places, and more than that, new experiences. I have degrees in archaeology and writing, pursuing a career in the latter. However, I never quite lost that fascination with archaeological theory. For the past 9 years, I’ve been living and travelling in Asia, documenting ancient sites and the peoples who built them, and then adapting them into practical archaeological travel information at PathsUnwritten.com.

Lost Cities“. . . where there was not a soul to be found and where there were no roads, perhaps there could I discover traces of some ancient civilization.” – Sven Hedin
Travel Tales“ . . . the first joy can never be recovered, and the wise traveler learns not to repeat successes, but tries new places all the time.” – Paul Fussell
