Welcome to a blog that covers anything from great coffee shops to travel in strange places to stories about what makes the world so wonderful and weird. And if you like it, check out my books!
As a journalist, I have had the good fortune to work full-time, for news agencies like Reuters, but mostly as a freelancer, for newspapers and magazines across the world, including for The New York Times, Esquire, Conde Nast Traveler, Outside, The Times, and The Independent. I have written short pieces and 3000-word features, from humor sketches to travel essays to investigative in-depth articles. My books range from travel to memoir to narrative nonfiction. For me, the investigating and writing have to be as fun as I hope the final product is to read.
