#TravelWriting One of the best.
If anyone's interested in a deep dive into #TravelWriting, I'll be leading a 3-day workshop on Whiddy Island as part of West Cork Literary Festival in July. (I'll also be doing an event at the festival, an early preview of my forthcoming book, #ThePathlessLand.)

Easter isn’t the same everywhere.
Years ago in Cáceres, Spain, I witnessed something quieter, older—processions moving through stone streets, heavy with history and silence.

At a museum in Sukhothai today, something small turned into something spiritual.
I wrote about craft, impermanence, and what remains after the maker is gone:

A photograph of god. This is a Theyyam dancer from the Kannur region of northern Kerala. The dancers are from "low castes" but after days of meditation, a god enters each one and they become god while the Theyyam festival lasts. #indiatravel #india #kerala #theyyam #travelphotography #travelwriting

A cinematic illustration of Porto at sunset, showing the Douro River, Rabelo boats, and the Dom Luís I Bridge glowing in warm golden light.
Why every traveler should visit Porto at least once
Porto is a city built on stories whispered through the narrow alleys of Ribeira and others sung through the melancholic notes

Thrilled to have had the opportunity to chat to the Travel Writing Podcast at Intrepid Times about #slowtravel, 'solastalgia' and how that relates to my latest book, 'This Is Not My Land: 30 Years on a Small Cotswolds Farm'. You can listen here: intrepidtimes.com/2026/03/caro... #travelwriting
Cross-country? I’d still take the car. Not because it’s romantic, but because it allows interruption. And interruption is where most worthwhile things begin. streetsoul.me/2026/03/17/r...

Being overseas long enough frees you. You stop trying to fit cultural expectations and start playing with them instead.

I’m in the middle of reading Diana Marcum’s book The Tenth Island - a semi-journalistic account of the Azores and the Azorean diaspora — and really sad to learn that she died a few years ago. What an interesting writer and what a sad loss. #azores #travelwriting #booksky

Sometimes the road rewrites the plan.
We couldn’t take I-90 from Pasco to Poulsbo due to snow in the mountains, so we had to find another way.
Not the route we expected—but definitely a stop worth making.
That’s the spirit of taking the long way.
