The Artful Traveller is based on the concept of the Flâneur, a French word that means "a stroller, a loiterer, someone who wanders aimlessly". The Flâneur was popularized by the poet Charles Baudelaire in the 19th century, who described him as a detached observer of urban life, who finds pleasure and meaning in the everyday details. The Flâneur is not a tourist, but a traveller; he does not follow a fixed itinerary, but lets his intuition guide him. He is not interested in monuments or attractions, but in people and culture. He is not a passive spectator, but an active participant.

The Artful Traveller is a handbook for anyone who wants to adopt this mindset and attitude when travelling. It teaches you how to be more mindful, creative, and adventurous when exploring new places. It shows you how to avoid the pitfalls of mass tourism and consumerism, and how to find authentic experiences that enrich your soul. It also gives you practical tips and advice on how to plan your trips, pack your bags, deal with challenges, and stay safe.
