… and it feels like my backpacking trip’s purpose is ultimately coming into focus. All the floating ideas of purpose and achievement in regards to this adventure are getting narrowed down and filtered into intentions. Roaming the world free can

Day 9: Today I Woke Up in Tbilisi, Georgia

The reason why Heliochromy could never be a travel blog – although in its own way it is – is because this is not about the places I go to, but rather the feelings that are stirred before, while and

…and it wasn’t without adventure. Taxi drivers all over the world offer a bottomless supply of interesting stories. Here’s last night’s. My taxi driver was an old guy, and I specifically chose him because hiring a taxi at 2am in

Day 2: Today I Woke Up in Doha, Qatar

To be fair, I woke up plenty of times today. Good ol’ jet lag can be pretty mean. Traveling over 9k miles to the other side of the world can have this effect even to the mightiest of travelers. (The

Two Sides in Every Travel Plan

Two Sides in Every Travel Plan

Goodbye, and Hello

Goodbye, and Hello
