About This Space

This isn't a travel hack blog. You won't find "Top 10" lists or affiliate links here. What you'll find are honest accounts of being somewhere new - the discomfort, the wonder, and the slow transformation that happens when you let a place change you.

I started writing these stories for myself. Then friends asked where I was going, and what it was like. This journal is my answer.
