The island
I was born on an island. I didn’t travel much as a child. I was six years old the first time I went on a ferry and it felt to me like the rest of the world was swallowing me whole, larger than anything had ever been. It would be another six years before I travelled again, this time by plane. I looked at my island from the window plane and realise it didn’t look much like those maps on my geography book, his colours not as bright but alive nonetheless.

The Approach
Winter in Georgia is golden. The trees lose their leaves and the air grows chilly, but not bone-gnawing, not gray. Still, I suffered during the winter of my senior year of college.

Luminous Journeys
Travel, for me, has never really been about sightseeing and selfies with the attractions. That is for tourists and I see myself more as an explorer; a seeker of truth. An ‘experience junkie’ of sorts; always looking for the next hit of something new and extraordinary. I crave knowing the true essence of a new country, in all it’s grime and glory.
