Explore cultures through local art, craft and creativity
Travel guides and discoveries to help you find and support local artists, artisans and independent places
While traveling, I started noticing the same mass-produced souvenirs appearing in places thousands of kilometers apart
But look a little further, and you can find something much more interesting: local artists, artisans, crafts and independent places that tell a story about where you are
Öpproved is my way of finding and sharing them, so we can stay curious, discover what makes each place unique, and support local creativity along the way

65 countries later, I wanted to give something back.
Travel has given me more than places to visit. Through the people I've met, the cultures I've discovered and the art I've encountered, it has shaped the way I see the world.
Öpproved is my way of giving something back — by sharing local creativity, encouraging curiosity and helping our differences continue to thrive.
Öpproved is an independent project built around exploring, documenting and sharing local creativity.
