About

While this specific photo was sent to me by a friend, all the photos on this site were taken by me unless otherwise noted. If your art is featured in a photo, send me a note so I can credit you.

I'm interested in how place affects people and how people affect place.

I'm a psychogeographer and licensed NYC guide living and wandering in Manhattan.

For more than 25 years, I've been a wanderer, roaming across all 50 states and dozens of countries, changing cities, homes, jobs, and relationships in search of something I couldn't define.

Unknowingly, I was engaged in the ancient human practice of wandering, which played an important role in our species' evolution and expansion across the globe.

I define wandering as using intuition to move through territory - and that's the exact process that our ancestors used to explore their ever-changing environments, gather important resources, and grow into new territories, both physical and mental.

It's central role in our success as a species, wandering is still considered frivolous by industrial society, because we undervalue intuition and things that are difficult to observe, measure, and repeat.

Wandering is also extremely beneficial. It's good for our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. That's why this website exists, to explain how and why wandering works, and hopefully to entice you into engaging in it on your own, with your friends, or with me on the streets of New York City.

Join me for a Food Crawl.

Or a Street Lab.

And read my posts.

I appreciate you stopping by.
