Safely ensconced in a car, with a driver and guide, a glass screen dividing me and the world, I traverse the city of Delhi, my jumping-off point for my tour of India. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed, less by the volume of traffic, than by the seemingly lack of any rules.

Georgia should be high on your list of places to visit. If it’s not already on your bucket list, add it to the top 10. Thank me later. This small country in the Caucasus region of Eurasia is not particularly well known. The fact that most people can’t recognize it| Nomad Flag

Over summer I rekindled my relationship with running. Basically we met at the gym, and I was at a low ebb and it said ‘hey’ and I was like ‘hi’. and that was it. I’m keeping it at a distance, only occasionally looking at Garmin watches late at night, thinking ‘Do I need that?’ and […]| Nefny Writes
