About this site
Documenting the places I go and the things I notice along the way.
This is where I put the things that don’t fit anywhere else — travel notes, photography, half-formed thoughts, and the occasional deep dive into something I probably care about too much. Based in New York. Frequently elsewhere.

Trip to Lisbon, Portugal
Five days in Lisbon. Tile facades, steep hills, and light that turns everything amber by four in the afternoon. Notes from a city that’s hard to leave.
What I Write About
Travel
Notes from the road. Cities, detours, and the small details that make a place memorable.
Photography
A visual record. Light, composition, and the moments worth keeping.
Essays
Longer thoughts on whatever I’m paying attention to. Interests vary. Opinions are my own.
