Greetings from Santiago de Chile. It’s been quite an adventure since I last wrote, and if I’m honest, I’m ready to be home. Some of you might remember The Accidental Tourist – a book and later a film about a man who hates travel but makes a living writing guidebooks, finding the little comforts that… More »

Hi, everyone! We’re ending the year better than we started, and instead of writing an end-of-year recap, I want to share with you a nice capstone for 2022.

A Showcase, A Video, and Being in Thin Air
