I’m an archaeologist turned tour guide, travel leader, and Founder of Merakiva Travel. For over 10 years, I traveled the world as an archaeologist, excavating ancient sites in countries like Spain, Lebanon, and Iraq. After finishing my PhD, I moved into the corporate world. In that time, I worked in marketing, product development, and strategy. That life wasn't for me so I started a tour and travel company. In it, we lead trips around the world for small groups and organize trips for independent travelers. Plus, I run Always Sunny Tour out of it. Always Sunny Tour is the only tour in the world dedicated exclusively to visiting sites from the cult-favorite show, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Now, I also post on YouTube, slowly building up an audience of people interested in archaeology and travel. I'm a storyteller who loves people (and talks to tourists on a near daily basis).

I’m Ankit Goyal, founder of GermanPedia, where I specialize in helping expats understand Germany’s complex insurance system. My work covers every major type of insurance — from health insurance (public vs. private) to term life insurance, liability insurance, and other essential coverages that expats need to protect themselves and their families. I take a research-driven approach: every guide is built on official legal sources, industry reports, and court rulings to ensure accuracy. I also collaborate with insurance experts and financial advisors to simplify technical details and provide practical, trustworthy insights. To make my work even more relevant, I gather feedback from the GermanPedia community, discussions on Reddit and Facebook, and run surveys that capture the real experiences of expats living in Germany. This combination of expert collaboration, rigorous research, and community input has made GermanPedia a reliable source for navigating insurance in Germany with confidence. I take pride in transforming confusing legalese into understandable, useful advice, so people moving to or living in Germany feel empowered rather than overwhelmed.

The Puglia Guys is an independent, non-commercial, English-language guide to travel, food, and life in Italy’s southern region of Puglia. Founded by Scott Maxwell, a former London-based lawyer who moved to Puglia almost nine years ago, the project began as a way of documenting the region honestly and seasonally. Today, The Puglia Guys has become one of the most trusted English-language resources for visitors seeking authentic local experiences, not the curated tourist version.
