No long articles, just 3 short items I personally select each week through a global, cultural, and political lens. It might be my favorite neighborhood in a city, music artists from around the world, film or book recs about what’s really happening in a place, upcoming events where we can meet up, or the gear and apps I’m using on the road. After more than a decade of full-time nomading, I distill my most interesting discoveries into a newsletter you can read in 60 seconds each week.
