Writing

Through fiction and nonfiction, I explore the human experience and cultural interaction with the surrounding world.

In my nonfiction travel essays, I invite you to join me on journeys across diverse landscapes and cultures, where I explore communities, their histories, their foodways, and their interactions with their environments.

My articles on international development shed light on pressing issues and initiatives aimed at fostering sustainable progress and cultural exchange worldwide.

Through short stories I hope to offer glimpses into the intricacies of human emotions and relationships.

With each piece, I aim to ignite curiosity, provoke thought, and foster a deeper understanding of the rich diversity and interconnectedness of our global society.
