As promised in my last post about homesickness and long-term travel, I wanted to publish a follow up about the more practical side of my time on the road. I started out having no idea if I had packed...

Welcome back to Thrillable Hours! For newer Legal Nomads readers: a little background. I decided to start the Thrillable Hours series as a way to spotlight lawyers and former lawyers who were doing i...
In my Istanbul through a Pinhole post, I hinted at the fact that I would be starting a Legal Nomads newsletter. I’ve quietly put up the enrolment form on the sidebar, as well as on my Facebook ...
A brief break from writing about Turkey to chat about where I am now: Chiang Mai. After spending the holidays in England with my brother and then a few weeks in Jordan for consulting work, I stopped ...
In my last photoessay on Turkey’s biggest city, I wistfully recalled my many hours of wandering the cobblestone streets of Istanbul, my camera and imagination in tow. It was Autumn on the cusp of wi...
Looking back at the spiral of exploration I’ve documented on this site, I notice that my initial feelings about many places include the phrase “a shock to the system.” Regardless of how long I travel...
“The passages of Marrakesch are so packed with people, animals and objects that you have to learn to move through them in a new way. I found myself wayching local Marrakechis who have spent the...

A corollary to having a brother who flies to the Philippines solely to help you find your favourite animal on earth is that he can be relied upon to provide you with friends who you will immediately ...
It’s a tough question to ask. I sat and looked through folders of photos, bringing back waves of memories. Shockingly, mine has to do with food. As I’ve said many times, what I eat as I r...
After a fall in Morocco and Turkey, I’ve made my way to England. My brother just moved here with his girlfriend for the next few years; he’s been transferred with work, and she’s pu...

Welcome back to Thrillable Hours! This week’s interview is with another Quebecoise, Anne Marie Babkine, who practiced as a lawyer for 14 years before quitting her job to work on a series of ...
My dad loves cars. Building them, washing them, driving them – you name it, and he can tell you about it. Many childhood weekends were spent learning from him, about shiny chrome and bright pai...
Back when I was exploring the intense and rewarding Myanmar, I wrote a post about how it was always soup o’clock in Burma. During my first days in Morocco, I was reminded of that post and the w...
