Ever since I launched this blog nearly a year ago, I’ve developed a habit of disappearing. It happened for the first time a month or two into my stint in Broome, when I took a step back from productivity and threw myself full-on into…
I’ve been in Penang for three weeks now. Most of the people I meet passing through the hostel think that I’m crazy. “A few weeks?!” they repeat after me, incredulous. “What could you possibly do here for that long?!” For me, it’s gone quickly.…
