What this is. How to read it. Whether it's for you.

If you’ve landed here from somewhere — a search result, a forwarded link, a name that sounded interesting — this is the post that explains what this is.

Slow Crossings is writing, video, and tools about travel as a way through hard transitions. Most writing about that space treats it as a problem to solve. A gap to close. A reinvention to plan. I think that’s the wrong frame. The work isn’t to get out of the in-between as fast as possible. The work is to figure out what kind of trip would actually help — because different transitions need different kinds of travel.

That’s what I write about.

I write every other week. The pieces are usually short — five hundred to a thousand words, one thing at a time. Sometimes there’s video instead, filmed from the road or the water. Sometimes there’s something longer that needed to be a guide.

If you want a sense of what the writing is like before subscribing, the recent posts are below. Read a few. If something lands, the rest will too.

If you do subscribe, you’ll get Find Your Crossing in your welcome email — a thirty-minute guide to choosing the kind of trip that would actually help. Six different kinds of travel, six diagnostic questions, and a seventh frame for the trip this language doesn’t quite reach.
