"Antique and flea markets in the U.S. are a scavenger’s dream—vintage cameras, hand-stitched quilts, rare vinyl, and stories tucked into every weathered crate. It’s the kind of adventure where I can spend hours wandering, bargaining, and falling in love with the past one booth at a time."

I’ve got a canvas tote slung over my shoulder, the scent of kettle corn in the air, and the thrill of the find pulling me deeper into the maze—all while uncovering the heart and soul of small-town America and big-city side streets. Who knew old stuff could feel this full of life?
