there's something to be said for incognito.

(view from the hostel roof, cairo, egypt.)

i have long been a blogger. since i was 14 i've had some blog or many, some i never told anyone about, while others were known to friends. i currently have one associated with my name, and to be honest, i don't like writing on it! it's intended for semi-professional use which means i have to be concious that potential employers may not be too impressed with my perverse sense of humour and incriminating anecdotes. more recently though, i realized i just don't want people (or governments) to be able to search my name and read what i've been doing, where i've been traveling. spending time in israel, as i am right now, means that more than a handful of countries may choose not to let me into their countries, including afghanistan, which i'm flying to on may 1st.

politics sure complicate things. and that's the main reason i started this new blog. i hope i can write and post photos more freely here. i will try my hardest to keep some momentum going instead of letting this blog become just another in the graveyard of neglected urls.
