29 👨‍🦳

Appreciate all of the birthday wishes and everyone who came far and wide (literally) to celebrate with me this weekend. The last year of my 20’s is gonna be a good one!

PS: if you haven’t visited the @nysignmuseum yet, do it. Can’t think of a better way to ring in 29 as a native New Yorker than to look at the relics of signage that defined the City over the years (including the sign of my old neighborhood bike shop).

New home. New family members. New friends. New places visited. 2025 was a big year of changes, and a year well spent with all of my favorite people both near and far. Grateful for every new experience and excited for what 2026 has in store.

How do you explore North America with no car and nearly no money? Start where you are - abandoned buildings, bridges, tunnels. Bike to another country, hop a train to a different state, stick your thumb out on the side of the highway and pray someone picks you up.

This is a collection of travel stories from the past 10 years: cycling from Canada to Mexico, exploring the catacombs in Paris, running from the cops for writing graffiti in LA. And through it all, trying to evade the constant threats of jail and death.

Buy copies in-person or order them for delivery, only at Village Works.
