I made this last year when reading Dracula Daily, but I was too much of a coward to post it. Now I am no longer held back by earthly matters such as "reputation".
This is the original text from the book, but wildly misinterpreted. enjoy

dracula is considered a classic because it covers timeless human emotions such as "this food is not good for me but I'll eat it again because it's delicious" and "i ran to the train and of course it was late"

May 3rd, Jonathan Harker’s journal
(Mem., get recipe for Mina.) I asked the waiter, and he said it was called “paprika hendl,” and that, as it was a national dish, I should be able to get it anywhere along the Carpathians.
I had for breakfast more paprika, and a sort of porridge of maize flour which they said was "mamaliga," and egg-plant stuffed with forcemeat, a very excellent dish, which they call "impletata." (Mem., get recipe for this also.)
Recipe blog casually interrupted by nightmares and the howling of wild dogs. I’m sure it’s nothing.

Travels with Jonathan Harker, in pictures
If our good friend Jonathan Harker had sent us some photos along with his lovely email, here's what he might have included. All photos are as close to contemporary as I could find.
Left Munich at 8:35 P. M.:
Tumblr media
arriving at Vienna early next morning:
Tumblr media
Buda-Pesth seems a wonderful place, from the glimpse which I got of it from the train and the little I could walk through the streets:
Tumblr media
We left in pretty good time, and came after nightfall to Klausenburgh:
Tumblr media
All day long we seemed to dawdle through a country which was full of beauty of every kind. Sometimes we saw little towns or castles on the top of steep hills such as we see in old missals:
Tumblr media
sometimes we ran by rivers and streams which seemed from the wide stony margin on each side of them to be subject to great floods:
Tumblr media
The women looked pretty, except when you got near them, but they were very clumsy about the waist. They had all full white sleeves of some kind or other, and most of them had big belts with a lot of strips of something fluttering from them like the dresses in a ballet, but of course there were petticoats under them:

(on the left: the Romanian royal family in peasant cosplay in the early 1900s; on the right, a photoshoot of Romanian national dress in 1868)
It was on the dark side of twilight when we got to Bistritz, which is a very interesting old place:
Tumblr media
Bonus: a postcard Jonathan might have picked up for Mina.

Jonathan is just like me fr, someone handing him a crucifix and being like “dear god don’t go tonight, tonight is the night where the terrors claw themselves up from hell through the earth’s crust and devour the unsuspecting” and he’s like “I just got this job I haven’t accrued enough sick time yet sorry”

I was surprised to find in my second reading of Dracula Daily that Jonathan has canonically taken pictures of Dracula's home in England with a Kodak camera! I didn't realize this since the name was not capitalized.
He says in today's entry that "I could not enter it, as I had not the key of the door leading to it from the house, but I have taken with my kodak views of it from various points."
This is historically accurate as the first Kodak camera was released in 1888 so Jonathan would have had one in 1897. Here's what it would have looked like:

More travels with Jonathan Harker, in pictures
Here's the route that Jonathan travels by the public coach today:
Tumblr media
I've tried to find copyright-free photos from the actual route, but I've not had much success. So this tour is going to be a lot more vibes-based than reflective of the actual sights out of the stagecoach window. Think of it like Jonathan's Transylvanian Pinterest board.
(Scenery photos are all of Transylvania, assuming I can trust the sites where I found them, but not necessarily the right time of year or the right bit of Transylvania. It's a big place.)
"Before us lay a green sloping land full of forests and woods, with here and there steep hills, crowned with clumps of trees or with farmhouses, the blank gable end to the road."
Tumblr media
"There was everywhere a bewildering mass of fruit blossom—apple, plum, pear, cherry; and as we drove by I could see the green grass under the trees spangled with the fallen petals."
Tumblr media
"In and out amongst these green hills of what they call here the "Mittel Land" ran the road, losing itself as it swept round the grassy curve, or was shut out by the straggling ends of pine woods, which here and there ran down the hillsides like tongues of flame."
Tumblr media
"Beyond the green swelling hills of the Mittel Land rose mighty slopes of forest up to the lofty steeps of the Carpathians themselves. Right and left of us they towered, with the afternoon sun falling full upon them and bringing out all the glorious colours of this beautiful range, deep blue and purple in the shadows of the peaks, green and brown where grass and rock mingled, and an endless perspective of jagged rock and pointed crags, till these were themselves lost in the distance, where the snowy peaks rose grandly."
Tumblr media
"As we wound on our endless way, and the sun sank lower and lower behind us, the shadows of the evening began to creep round us. This was emphasised by the fact that the snowy mountain-top still held the sunset, and seemed to glow out with a delicate cool pink."
Tumblr media
"By the roadside were many crosses, and as we swept by, my companions all crossed themselves."
Tumblr media
"Sometimes, as the road was cut through the pine woods that seemed in the darkness to be closing down upon us, great masses of greyness, which here and there bestrewed the trees, produced a peculiarly weird and solemn effect, which carried on the thoughts and grim fancies engendered earlier in the evening, when the falling sunset threw into strange relief the ghost-like clouds which amongst the Carpathians seem to wind ceaselessly through the valleys."
Tumblr media
And a bonus: Bran Castle is marked as 'Dracula's Castle' despite being even further away from the locations in the book than most of my vibes-based photography choices. It also doesn't resemble Bram Stoker's descriptions of the castle.
But more importantly, it looks really cool. So here it is:
