Travel as a Habit of Reflection

Travel is a habit of reflection: to step outside daily life and duty, to be forced to find and discover new parts of myself. Poor sleep, noises, vibrations, and new rhythms unsettle the balance I build in my habitual life. I go anyway—aiming for recovery, exploration, adventure.

Inspiration arrives as questions about myself in the world. What kind of life do I live, and what kind of life do I want to live? What is the passport? Where is my passion? Why can’t I sleep? Why is my mind restless? How do I hold it all when too many thoughts occupy my brain and need to become words and sentences?

I have been composing words and sentences all my life—writing and reflecting in my own way. Actually sharing with the world only began on April 19, 2023, a promise to myself to do so and to engage with the world.
