Let's face it, most folks wouldn't get giddy over grout or swoon at a mosaic tile pattern. But hey, that's the life of a tile NERD! For years, I've been the guy snapping pics in public restrooms (don't worry, just the artistic kind!) and geeking out over historical mosaics. My wife, bless her heart,  can attest to the random conversations and constant pointing out flaws and the disbelief of tile installation decision

But here's the thing: I'm more than just a "tile nerd" (though I am a certifiable!). Travel, photography and history are my other passions. So, this blog is my way of merging those loves. Picture this: exploring ancient ruins, marveling at architectural wonders, and – you guessed it – obsessing over the incredible tile work that tells a story all its own.

I may not be Hemingway, but I promise to share my adventures with a healthy dose of humor, historical tidbits, and yes, lots of tile appreciation. So, if you're curious about the world's rich cultures, fascinating history, and the surprising beauty hidden beneath your feet, then stick around!
