The original EverTheNomad blog was born in 2008 and lived happily until early 2014. It had a rich and exciting life, which featured fun series like guest posts from expats writing about their adopted homes (from Santiago to Gabon), an interview series called Local Voices Croatia and Global Glimpses that showcased snapshots and mini-stories from my travels. It supported several Passports with Purpose fundraisers, brought me many friends I still keep in touch with and provided a platform for writing whatever and however I pleased. It lives on in these pages. Please poke around.

How does one sum up three intense days in a city of twenty million people? I could weave a dozen stories out of my quickie stay in Mexico City last week. Instead I thought I'd zero in on one. On Friday night, I took a taxi from the posh neighborhood of Polanco, my home during...

Inspired by Banksy's brilliant film Exit Through the Gift Shop that I saw last week, I am devoting this post to political acts of art around the world. While some people see street art as vandalism, others see it as a form of free creative expression. The controversy makes it all the more interesting. Since...
