Perspective
Selected journeys, reflections, and essays on travel, food, and the art of moving through the world with intention.
Global
From the surreal silence of an empty Gallery of Maps in the Vatican to the volcanic landscapes of the Azores, the shifting dunes of Sandwich Harbor in Namibia, the endless Namib Desert, and the ancient amphitheater of El Jem before sunset — five places that reminded me why I travel.
Taipei
The original Din Tai Fung in Taipei isn't just a restaurant — it's a pilgrimage. Watching the dumpling masters fold each xiao long bao before tasting the most perfect soup dumplings on earth is a rite of passage for any traveler.
Namibia
In Namibia, the dunes don't stop at the horizon — they slide straight into the ocean. From the dramatic meeting of sand and sea at Sandwich Harbor to the surreal pink lakes along the Skeleton Coast, this is one of the most visually stunning landscapes on the planet.
The Micronesia Island Hopper
Five remote islands, four time zones, and one of the most legendary aviation routes in the world. Flying United's Island Hopper across the Pacific isn't just transportation — it's a journey through some of the most remote communities on earth.
Chiang Mai
In the northern capital of Thailand — the birthplace of Khao Soi — the hunt for the perfect bowl becomes a journey through hidden alleyways, family kitchens, and generations of flavor. Creamy coconut curry, tender noodles, crispy toppings, and just the right kick of spice — this is Chiang Mai's soul in a bowl.
Georgia
In Georgia, khinkali is more than a dumpling — it's a ritual. Pick it up by the twisted top, take a small bite, sip the hot broth inside first, then finish the rest in one satisfying bite. Just don't eat the top knot — that's how locals keep count of how many they've conquered.
