Dalia, in her own words

By now the people who wait for me bring a book, because I have never once arrived when I said I would. Writing about travel means the good stories happen in the exact hour I should be leaving. Airports do not stress me, kitchens do, and I cook for anyone who turns up regardless, usually far too much and far too late.

Late talks are where I actually live, the ones that begin after midnight and go sideways into something neither of us planned. Warm water and nothing in the calendar is the week I chase, and I will build a whole trip around one stretch of coast. Open to something new, which in my case means slow and then all at once. A hollow gold bracelet sits on my left wrist every day of the year, and not one person has ever been told why.
