CURRENT MISSION

Not just to see the world, but to live in it: to meet its people, taste its food, and to try and absorb every wild, incredible, ridiculous thing it has to offer.

ABOUT ME

Hello!

I'm a writer and web designer, and I'm here because of one book: Vagabonding by Rolf Potts, easily the most influential paperback of my life. It inspired a year-long journey throughout Southeast Asia with my brother, and it carries me now to Madrid, Spain, where I'm butchering the local language and wondering why the hell it's so much prettier than any other city I've ever seen.

I'm an easy-going, laid-back guy, with probably too much facial hair and secretly nerdy hobbies. Traveling is how I know myself: my strengths, my limitations, and how easily the latter are overcome when I'm completely in over my head. It's a terrifying feeling at times, but I love it, and it's influenced so much of my life and my writing.
