Travel

Notes from places worth going back to. Slow, specific, and usually about food.

San Francisco, California

San Francisco

What to eat, where to walk, and the courts worth booking. The version of SF I send friends to, from someone who commutes in from the South Bay.

Samber Pasi, Papua, Indonesia

Samber Pasi

Eight hours from Jakarta, an hour by car, four hours of open ocean. Samber Pasi has white sand, a fish economy, and one teacher for the whole elementary school.

Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville

Almost two months living in Nashville, listing what stuck. The fried chicken hill I will die on, the right rooms for music, and a wall of guitars worth a layover.

Biak, Papua, Indonesia

Biak, Pt. 2

I asked to switch onto this team two weeks before they flew. It became the most important thing I did in four years of college.

New Hampshire & Vermont

New England, on the third ask

Rathi had to ask three or four times before I caved. Then I drove from Boston up through New Hampshire into Vermont, and now I'm one of those people who tells you New England in October is the place.

Cancún, Mexico

Cancún

The 2023 WTA Finals were held in a temporary stadium in Cancún, on short notice, in the wind. The tennis was unreal anyway.
