I’m not a writer, really. I’m just a story teller.

Although my name is Leandro Peregrine Winterwood, my friends call me Peri.

And I feel grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to travel, exposing me to so many wonderful stories.

From wandering the ancient ruins of Turkey to sharing heartfelt moments with the Amazigh in Morocco, or standing in awe before the Ishtar Gate in Berlin, I’ve found that every journey brings new connections, new faces, and new tales of love, adventure, and wonder.

At the heart of every great story are the people who live it—their dreams, struggles, and triumphs.

And somehow a good story helps us on our own journey, our own story.

I hope these stories spark joy, bring a smile to your face, and remind you of the magic in your own life’s journey.
