Mark is one of the curious minds behind CastleQuest Chronicles, sharing the adventure with his fellow cofounder and castle enthusiast, Gilles. For as long as he can remember, Mark has been sidetracked by ruined towers and ivy-clad walls—usually with a camera in one hand and a half-baked legend scribbled in his notebook.
He’s wandered from turreted palaces to crumbling battlements, always hunting for stories that make these places feel alive. Mark believes the real magic of a castle isn’t just in its stones or soaring views—it’s in the small moments: the echo of footsteps in a cold hall, the local bakery you stumble into after a long climb, the tip you pass on to the next traveler.
When he’s not exploring new corners with Gilles (or getting gloriously lost along the way), you’ll find him swapping travel tales with readers or searching for the next offbeat castle to add to the list. Got a favorite hidden gem? Mark would love to hear about it—half the fun is discovering what other castle lovers have found on their own quests.
