GekkoTrekk is the place where I can throw in everything that crosses my path and mind when travelling: An unfocused notebook, a traveller’s suitcase of impressions and photographs, an anti-instagram and anti-tiktok look at travel, a scrapbook for the fascinating messiness of life, a voyage to find sense.
