Andrei Romanov | History

Uncovering the true stories of the explorers who redrew the map of the world.

I am Andrei Romanov, an economist turned historian based in the Algarve, Portugal. Living on the edge of the Old World, I research the Age of Discovery from the source : visiting the archives, fortresses, and ports where the first global empire began.

On this channel, we explore:
⚓ The Portuguese Age of Discovery
🗺️ How maps changed history
💰 The economics behind the spice trade
📍 Travel guides to historical sites in Portugal

My debut book, "Masters of the Ocean Sea," is available now. It tells the epic saga of the 18 explorers (from Prince Henry to Magellan) who connected the continents.
