Somewhere over the Arabian Sea and wedged between a layover in Qatar and the descent into Colombo I realized something: Two weeks half a world away.

We landed in Tahiti late at night, took a taxi to our airbnb, and got up early for the Papeete market. It was crowded by seven.

The south end of Lagos is called Ponta da Piedade and consists of a tangle of golden limestone stacks and grottoes standing out in the water.

I went to Greece by myself for a long weekend in the winter and had one of the most photographed islands on earth largely to myself.

The entire trip started because I was scrolling flights I had no business scrolling and found a one-way ticket from LAX to Paris for two hundred dollars.

In January of 2016 I took a bus from Rome to Interlaken with more time than money.  I left the umbrella pines and Roman winter as I watched Italy slowly hand me over to tall ranges and flat plains.
