Bricks of Segovia
Spain has a knack for building things that last. Cathedrals, empires, grudges. And in Segovia, it all comes together in stone, mortar and defiance of gravity.
Viva Las Vegas
Las Vegas appears as a sun-scorched mirage in the Nevada desert. Built on broken dreams, cocktail napkin promises and the undying hope that maybe this is the night the dice will roll your way.
The beauty of Big Sur
There are places that feel like the edge of the world. And then there’s Big Sur, a stretch of California coastline so brutally beautiful it makes you question your place in the universe.

For some reason, London has never really been one of my favorites. “Bad food, worse weather” as they once put it in the movie Snatch. A swirling mess of fog, fried carbs and five centuries of imperial guilt jammed into a modern-day Monopoly board.
With the Terminal man at Charles de Gaulle
I was recently sitting in Terminal 2 at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, reading The Terminal Man, the tale about Merhan Karimi Nasseri who has been living in Terminal 1 of CDG for 16 years.

Passing through Paraty
Paraty is one of those colonial towns frozen in amber, where the streets were laid by sadistic masons with a grudge against ankles. Cobblestones the size of baby skulls, slick with centuries of rain and regret.
The streets of Paraguay
There are places that you will rarely receive a postcard from. Paraguay is one of them. Tucked between louder neighbors with flashier attractions, this landlocked backwater doesn’t scream for attention.
At the Igauzu waterfalls
Some places humble you. Iguazu doesn’t even bother with humility, it hits you full on with humidity and something that existed long before we learned how to pave roads and build houses.
