Sustainable Travel, Living, and the Occasional Unpopular Opinion
I sold my car 7 years ago (and think you should sell yours too) and never check bags when I travel. I’ve just about turned taking public transit into an Olympic sport.
I believe that our cities should have less concrete and more jungle, and that we don’t need self-help; we need society-help.
If that sounds like your kind of weird, you’re in the right place, and you’ll love my newsletter.
