This is #ProjectNomad

Yesterday I set out to write a review of the last year of my life, from a professional standpoint, and in the process I came to the realization that I'd actually had a pretty good 2019, creatively speaking.

So now I'm going to try to do the same with my personal life.

Last night my housemates and I began to pack up our belongings as we prepare to move out of the Eco Lodge. Our lease expires on October 31st.

In many ways it's kind of surreal to be leaving. After four months, I've grown used to this place, and I imagine Arthur and Mega...

It's funny how the people we've loved can continue to influence us, long after they're gone from our lives.

This is going to be a pretty frank appraisal of my ideas of masculinity and how they relate to my ideas of self. 

I downloaded Tinder fairly quickly after my partner and I broke up.

When I was in my twenties, I had this number of women I wanted to sleep with before I tur...

Part of #ProjectNomad has been a commitment to healthy eating, so from time to time I'll share my experiences in the kitchen. I'm no culinary genius, but I try to make everything at least edible. 

One of the things that I know I could have done better in my last relatio...

One of my big resolutions for 2018 has been to release myself from the anger and hurt I'd been storing inside since my relationship ended in August.
