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 demands you slow the fuck down and set-a-spell. Easier said than done, my friends.
