Travel
Back in 2022-2023, I spent the whole year out of a suitcase going around the world. I'm more firmly planted these days but you can't give up wanderlust that easily.
Skip the Golden Gate photos and hit the coastal trails, farmers markets, and foggy beaches where locals actually spend their weekends.
Midnight sun, camper van living, and fishing for cod in the Arctic islands where summer never ends.
Cloud forests, surf towns, and learning that birding tours start at 5:30am for good reason.
Working Pacific hours across both islands while chasing vineyards, empty beaches, and dolphins in the sounds.
Skiing the Sellaronda loop and eating pasta on mountain refugios during a low-snow year that still delivered.
Celebrating Argentina's World Cup victory with 50,000 strangers while learning the blue market peso economy.
Ten days on the W Trek where your feet hurt for weeks but the glaciers make it worth every step.
Wine bars and empanadas in a city that deserves more than being treated as a Patagonia layover.
Five months on the road with an M1 MacBook, Canon R5, and the realization that laptop stands aren't worth the weight.
The logistics of booking Torres del Paine campsites before they sell out and choosing between Chilean and Argentine routes.
Flawless trains, Alpine scrambles with rope assists, and cow bells echoing across valleys.
Self-driving metro trains, canal swimming, and cardamom buns that beat Paris pastries.
A weekend layover that packed in Michelin-star greenhouses, natural wine bars, and realizing bike infrastructure can transform cities.
Working Pacific hours through Paris heat waves when Parisians flee the city and UPS loses your packages for sport.
Mopeds to Sintra castles, coworking for $180/month, and discovering that kite surfing beaches exist outside Hawaii.
