bonjour, y'all

For 153 days, from November 5, 2025 until April 5, 2026, I solo globetrotted seeking inspiration for my next phase of life. (You can find the images in "Travel" and the stories in "Dispatches".) Then, in late April, I chose to put down roots in New Orleans, a city that welcomes strangers, drips with Spanish moss, oozes culture, and seems to operate by its own wonderfully crooked set of rules. Frankly, it felt like exactly what I needed.
