Sundown on Szeged: The Hungarian city’s warm, Mediterranean style offers open-air concerts, Art Nouveau, and pedestrian walkways that channel a history of water and sun.
Just Outside Dubai: On the blog for “global nomads” Janera, I reflect on a trip to Dubai: your best daydream if you come on a tourist visa with a pocketbook full of cash, but come clinging to the underbelly of the modernist project, life is far from spoon-fed.
Above the Kebab Shop: A weekend with Turkish migrants in London brings stories of Italian beaches, human trafficking rings, and the smell of human perseverance.
