From the Journal

From the Journal.

The in-between moments. The glass that started a conversation. The city that changed something.

Not everything that happens on the road fits neatly into a guide.

This is where I put the rest of it — the layovers that turned into something unexpected, the wines I ordered by accident that I still think about, the bars where I ended up staying for three hours because the person next to me was interesting. The small, specific moments that do not belong in an itinerary but that are, in the end, the reason I keep travelling.

These are personal pieces. Some are funny. Some are quiet. All of them happened over a glass of something worth drinking.
