A newsletter about reinvention.

Dispatches from traveling full-time, rethinking old ideas, and imagining a more expansive way of living.

I’m

, a writer from Nashville, now traveling the world full-time. In 2022, I sold all my things, moved out of my house, and bought a one-way ticket out of the country.

I decided to prototype my life by running a series of experiments to see what worked best for me, based on a deep-rooted belief that there’s no problem I can’t solve with a spreadsheet.

Since then, I’ve traveled solo, lived abroad and on both coasts, in big cities and small towns, alone and with people. I went leaseless, stopped drinking, got strong, drove across the US alone, and built community.

I’ve tried new things, dismantled old beliefs, and created my own blueprint for a fulfilling life—and I’m showing no signs of stopping or slowing down anytime soon.

Yeehaw! 🤠
