Matthew Shaw

Matthew began his career as a sports journalist covering the 2004 Athens Olympics, where he became fascinated with the cultural impact and architectural legacy of the Games in host cities. This interest evolved into a broader exploration of how neighborhoods and traditional crafts adapt to modernization, leading him to leave mainstream journalism for independent travel writing. Now based in Frankfurt after years of nomadic living, he's built a reputation for thoughtful coverage of places and traditions that mainstream travel media often overlooks.
