Pieces filed across nineteen borders.
Three short reads, for the gate.
Notes from people who travel for a living, written for people who are about to.

Every gram in the overhead bin is a gram you carry through the terminal, the train station, the cobblestone street to the apartment. Five pounds of luggage; everything else earns its weight.

→ continueWe built tripgear the way travelers pack: nothing without a reason, nothing left at the gate. Every piece on the shelf has flown with us, failed with us, and earned its place in the bag.
