Welcome to The Long Road Home, a journal for seekers, wanderers, and storytellers—those drawn to the open road, and the question of what "home" really means.
Through travel memoir, essays, and photography, we will explore the winding paths we take—across landscapes and lifetimes—toward belonging, love, and self-discovery.
Here, you will find writing, photography, and art on themes such as travel, motherhood, the writing life, slow living, sexuality, identity, and much more.
I would be thrilled to have you on the journey.
