Updates from the Road

Want to keep up with my explorations?

Well, this is the right place!

I usually post updates on Fridays and sometimes on Tuesdays. (They also may be posted on a random day of the week.)

Honestly, most of my posts in the last couple of years have been updates. So, you can tune in here for them or check out the home page.

I’m currently posting about my recent European adventures. Slowly.
