Slow Crossings is writing, video, and tools about travel as a way through hard transitions.

It’s for people who suspect the right trip at the right time might change something.

Not travel tips. Not itineraries. Not “10 days in Portugal on a Budget.”

I write about slow travel, solo travel, hard travel, unfamiliar travel — the particular kind of trip that shows up when something in your life is ending or beginning. Long ocean crossings are my own preferred version of that work, but the methodology travels: long stays, unfamiliar cities, pilgrimages, road trips, the kind of trip you take when you can’t quite say what you need.

I’m Sean Carney. I write and film from Los Angeles when I’m there, and from ships, trains, and unfamiliar towns when I’m not.

Before this, I spent thirty years in business and coaching. I trained as a coach (PCC) and worked with people in transitions for a long time before I started writing about them. I came to writing slowly, and to slow travel even slower. Some of what shows up here is figured out. Most of it isn’t.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, subscribe. I publish about twice a month, and you’ll get Find Your Crossing — a thirty-minute guide to choosing the kind of trip that would actually help — in your welcome email.
