The story so far.
The Foundation
Southeast roots, red clay, and learning how to stay.
IN YOUR OWN WORDS
The places that stuck.
"Home base and the place where the story starts — Georgia summers, red clay roads, and years stacked on years of building a life in the south. Atlanta has a particular way of getting under your skin."
"Back in the 404, with spring rolling in and the dogwoods doing their annual show. Some cities you leave and return to so many times they stop being a destination and start being a pulse."
"The land where the sun barely grazes the horizon in July before deciding to try again. Reykjavík makes you rethink what a city can feel like — volcanic, vivid, and utterly unlike anywhere else."
"Perched on jagged Catalan rock spires like something a painter invented, Montserrat has been drawing pilgrims for centuries and it is easy to see why. The fog rolls in, the bells ring, and you forget what century you are standing in."
"At the western edge of Ireland where the Cliffs of Moher drop straight into the Atlantic and the wind has strong opinions about where you are allowed to stand. July here means forty shades of green and one seriously earned Guinness."
"Thanksgiving on the coast — palm trees instead of pumpkins, Biscayne Bay instead of a fireplace. Miami has zero interest in playing by anyone else's seasonal rules, and that is exactly the point."
"Chicago shakes off winter with almost aggressive optimism in April — the lakefront suddenly alive, architecture towering over everyone who just wants a hot dog. Deep dish, eighteen miles of lake, blisters that were absolutely worth it."
"Right outside Atlanta's spotlight, College Park does its own thing without asking for applause. More history here than most people bother to look for, and the kind of neighborhood that rewards curiosity."
