MAGIC [maj-ik]/noun:
The feeling of magic is a delicate brushstroke on the soul, an ineffable sense of wonder that transcends the mundane, leaving one spellbound in the presence of the extraordinary. It’s a whisper of enchantment that ignites the heart, casting a luminous glow on the world, and evoking a profound connection ourselves, our inner children and our creativity.

Join me on a magical journey through historical and mythological destinations, where I find inspiration to write enchanting fairytales. Be part of this adventure! I create captivating travel itineraries and guides sprinkled with a touch of magic, designed to inspire your own travels. Let’s explore the world together!
Creative Stories based on destinations
We will explore where travel becomes enchanted, and where the line between fantasy and reality merges into one. Why does magic need to be confined to legends and stories sitting on dusty books shelfs when we can create our own fairytales based on historical and mythological facts.
Go on a magical journey in person
Join on an in person magical journey around my beautiful and spellbinding new home in United Bath where I will take you on a 3 hour walking tour followed by a fairytale writing workshop.
Meet Derya
author, travel journalist and seeker of Magic
“Through my countless travels around the globe, I’ve discovered that our world is truly magical. Often, we overlook this magic or set impossibly high expectations for what it should be. But the truth is that magic isn’t hard to find; it’s everywhere.
I invite you to open your eyes to the rich tapestry of history, culture, and mythology that our world offers. You’ll be surprised at the enchantment that enters your life.
Join me on a magical journey around the world and through my beautiful home, the City of Bath. Fairytales and legends don’t have to stay on dusty bookshelves. Together, we’ll write our own fairytales inspired by our travels. The only prerequisite is to find the extraordinary in the ordinary and believe in magic.”

LET’S GET CREATIVE
Legends and myths were once simply stories told by someone based on their truths and their interpretations of the world around them. Why not create our own tales, inspired by the historical and mythological wonders we encounter on our travels?
Are you ready to get creative with your travels and explore where the line where reality merges with fantasy?
