Life Digging myself out of a bureaucratic hole and planning my adventure for October! Went to Caño Cristales for the weekend, which was very beautiful and not at all relaxing.

At the start of the year, I had the idea to kill postcards and instead send a digital postcard from everywhere I left in 2016. The year is half over, and so it seems like a good time to reflect on this project. It has bought me so much joy – I’ve struggled to find […]
