This blog is going to be a bit chaotic. I have been to quite a few places worldwide, and since I had not planned on this endeavor, my writings on each location vary greatly. Some will be short descriptions of locations, others will be essayistic contemplations spurred on by the locale, and still more will be anecdotal, where the setting seems to have created the story. For the sake of expediency, these are mostly first drafts and underpolished. Also, I would like to impress upon the reader that I am an outsider to these places and can only give my minor accounting based on my own life and experiences. I encourage you to visit any of these places and create your own stories.
