Every year, I name my favorite new travel destinations. Lots of traditions have come and gone on the site, but I’ve been doing this for six years in a row! 2018 was much more low-key than past years: most of my trips were around 3-5 days or so. That said, I managed to visit seven countries […]

Every time I’m on my way back from Africa, I tell myself that I need to return soon. There is a feeling about Africa that I can’t get anywhere else. Africa feels honest to me. Not honest in the sense that everyone tells the truth and nobody will ever cheat you — more like it

This month was about…Kenyamerica? It’s hard to define this month as a whole — I spent the first 10 days in Kenya, enjoying the brilliant sunshine, and the final 20 days living a low-key life in the chilly, damp northeast US. That’s how much of my life has been lately. I live a normal life

As October comes to close, I’m feeling a faint dread for what lies ahead. Here begin six months of cold and misery in New York. Six months of winter coats and sludge puddles and not wanting to take any photos in the city except immediately after the snowfall. I didn’t visit any warm weather destinations
