Archives from the original EverTheNomad

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.

One of those is my friend Ozren's house on the southern Adriatic island of...

Island life in Croatia

Exactly a week has passed since I arrived to the island of Korčula in the southern Adriatic. It feels like a long month and a short-lived day at the same time. When I am enjoying myself, I've noticed, time seems to stand still and fly simultaneously. Back in New York, I pack in so much...

Summer in Croatia

I arrived to Zagreb yesterday afternoon, ran some errands in the city, saw a couple of old school mates and accidentally run into a friend whom I haven't seen since our university days in England in the mid 1990s. She incidentally lives in Bangkok. Small world, and strangely connected. As I pack for my month...

New York street art

One of my favorite things to do at home and on the road is taking photos of street art. It's especially great in New York City, a place in constant flux where nothing stays the same for too long. Wandering the city's varied neighborhoods on the lookout for new stencil, sticker and graffiti art is...

My Montana adventure

As I write this, I am sitting at the edge of an immense field with Montana's famous big skies in front of me. It is 9pm and the sun is slowly setting. I just had a delicious alfresco dinner – rabbit and bison sausages with huckleberry mustard as an appetizer, followed by a caesar salad,...
