I write about low-friction travel: one-bag packing, practical itineraries, and logistical decisions that make a trip feel easier once you’re actually in it.

How I think about travel
Most travel advice focuses on what to do. But what you get to experience depends on how the trip actually works.
I like to think through that stuff ahead of time: what you bring, how your days flow, what’s worth the effort, and which details will make the whole thing easier once you’re there.
So you can spend less energy managing the trip and more energy feeling like yourself somewhere new.

Why I travel this way
I didn’t start this blog to document every trip. I started it because I kept getting interested in the mechanics of travel — how to pack lighter, plan smarter, and make everything feel smoother and less stressful while still feeling like myself on the road.
Before this, I spent a long time in academia and tech, which probably explains why I approach travel a little like a systems problem. A little nerdy, I know, but when doing so makes more room for freedom and the good parts, it's really one of those things that bring me the most joy.
