Travel field notes

Off the Desk, Onto the Open Road & Sea.

Beyond my daily grind in customer support, I spend my time plotting my own escapes—from freediving reefs and coastal roads to quiet national parks and unfamiliar cities. Here, I share the raw memories: visual field notes, honest day-by-day itineraries, and the exact budgets behind every self-planned journey.
