Welcome to Only Anton—Your Passport to Unforgettable Journeys!
Greetings, fellow explorers of life’s grand adventure! If you find yourself in the “second half of life” and crave travel tales seasoned with a touch of wisdom and a dash of indulgence, you’re in the right place. At Only Anton, I celebrate the art of exploration with a few twists that set me apart from the travel blog crowd. Being a seasoned traveller, I navigate the world with the experience that comes with a few more candles on the birthday cake.
What makes me stand out? Well, for starters, I believe in the perfect blend of roughing it and indulging in life’s luxuries. Whether it’s a cozy homestay in a remote village or a night in a boutique hotel, I embrace the full spectrum of travel experiences. No roommates here! I’ve bid farewell to hostel dorms and cherish the joy of having my own space. Most times, the only bunkmates I want are a soft pillow and a good book.
Now, you won’t find endless drone shots of waterfalls or picture-perfect couples frolicking on beaches. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. More power to them. Instead, I share authentic stories, genuine encounters, and a few laughs along the way. My journey is about more than chasing sunsets; it’s about savouring every moment, even the ones that don’t make it to Instagram.
So, if you’re a seeker of stories, a connoisseur of comfort, and a lover of life’s second act, welcome to Only Anton. Let’s embark on this adventure together, where age is just a number and the world is our playground. Join me in embracing the essence of Move, Eat, Think as we traverse the globe, savour diverse cuisines, and delve into profound musings. Fasten your seatbelts; the best is yet to come!

“If I'm an advocate for anything, it's to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their food, it's a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.”
~ Anthony Bourdain
