monique skidmore, founder of Trip Anthropologist seated outside a paris cafe

Hi! My name is Monique and I’m a cultural anthropologist & avid traveler. I wanted to create a site for thoughtful & curious travelers who want to be more than just tourists. Join me as I journey around the Mediterranean & Europe, hunting down ancient citadels & monuments. I’m looking for the remains of incredible cultures & histories, of epic journeys, empires, pirate raids, heroic deeds, & capricious gods. Along the way, I find local foods, breathtaking beaches, & unforgettable hikes.
