I’m a hobby photographer, traveler, singer, and writer based out of Zurich. Prior to Switzerland, I’ve been lucky to call Norway, USA, and China home.

This website grew out of my interests for good travel literature and photography. It’s my little endeavor to capture, remember, and share the noteworthy things I’ve stumbled across on my trips. Each post is little different: some are reflective, others are prescriptive. Some describe landscapes while others hone in on etymologies, political geography, and other minutiae which fascinate me.

Oh, and here’s also where you can find some of my music! I’m very sappy. Happy perusing, happy listening. —Greg
