At Bespoke Traveler I hope to connect people to unexpected ways of thinking about travel. This space is for anyone interested in practicing the art of paying attention. I want to provide fellow travelers of all ages and means with narratives that go beyond listicles to search for personal lessons amid environmental issues, social complications, and design concerns. Through examining various cultures, redefining geography, and questioning the past, my wish is to encourage everyone who visits this digital corner to pursue their own purposeful adventures.

I believe travel should be about exploration and open curiosity. I believe that travel can be a means of changing perceptions, it can be a source of wonder, it can help us connect with one another in meaningful ways. I also know that travel can be incredibly harmful to the environment and the lives of the people whose spaces are senselessly invaded. Therefore, how we travel is an important burden to keep in mind. I travel with a willingness to learn, to use all of my senses in order to discover stories about the world we live in, to reshape myself, and to gain a deeper understanding of systems at work. I look forward to having you join me on my bespoke travels as we pursue and expand on these conversations.
