Spoiler: It’s not just about travel.
If you’re here, welcome. This is the start of something personal. Something intentional. Something I probably should’ve started years ago — but let’s not get caught up in timelines. Roam Less Traveled isn’t a travel blog in the traditional sense. It’s a journal, a platform, and maybe eventually, a little rebellion.
You won’t find a bucket list here. No top 10 gelato shops in Florence. No “How I did Europe in 6 days and only cried twice” clickbait.
I’m building this because I need a place where less is more. Where I can strip away the algorithms, the noise, and the pressure to do it all — and focus instead on doing what matters.
Why Now? Why This?
I’ve spent most of my adult life working in environments that demand structure, process, outcomes, and timelines. I respect those things. I need them. But I also know what it feels like to live inside them too long. You start optimizing your calendar and forgetting your breath.
So I’m taking a trip this fall — 30+ days across Europe. One backpack. No checked baggage. No frantic itinerary. Just movement, space, and story.
And this site? This is where that story begins. Before the first train. Before the first espresso. Before the first “Wait, what time zone am I in?” moment.
This is the part where I build the thing I’ll eventually walk away from — just long enough to experience what it was all meant to hold.
What Roam Less Traveled Is (and Isn’t)
This is not me becoming a full-time travel influencer (God help us all).
It’s not a soft launch of a course, a hustle, or a brand deal waiting to happen.
It’s not about escaping life.
It’s about reconnecting with it — with presence. With slowness. With intention.
Here’s what you will find here:
Travel stories rooted in moments, not metrics
Gear breakdowns (but only the stuff I actually use)
Reflections from someone who knows how to project manage life but is still learning how to feel it
A real-time build of a minimalist, slow-travel adventure — and maybe a philosophy worth sharing
What Comes Next
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing:
The gear I’m packing and why every piece has to earn its place
How I’m planning this trip (city by city, with enough room to breathe)
What I’m learning while not rushing to leave
Weekly Roam Notes — a short email that feels more like a letter than a promo
I’m hoping some of you will come along. Maybe not on the trains or the bike tours or the early morning walks — but through this. Through the build. Through the reflection. Through the rhythm of preparing to go slowly.
Final Thought: Roaming Starts Now
You don’t start roaming when the plane lands. You start when you stop rushing.
So that’s what this is. A place to slow down. A commitment to presence. A little digital firepit where we tell stories, share maps, and remind each other that going far doesn’t mean going fast.
I’m not trying to go viral. I’m trying to go real.
Thanks for being here.
