About

I’ve spent years wandering through Asia with a camera in my pocket, a notebook in my bag, and a curiosity that never seems to sit still. For a long time, my travel writing lived in tidy categories — Adventure China, Adventure Thailand, city guides, tips, the usual structure we all expect.

But life keeps shifting. Perspectives shift. And over time I realized what stays with me the most isn’t the checklist of places, but the in-between moments: a window in a storm, the way light falls on a back alley, a conversation that loops back into memory much later.

Imagical grows out of that realization.

It’s a place where images, impressions, and reflections carry as much weight as any itinerary. Some posts will be rough around the edges — written on trains, in hotel rooms, or while waiting for noodles somewhere — and others will settle into something more polished once I’m home again. Either way, they’re all part of the same thread: a slow, ongoing attempt to see the world (and myself) a little more clearly.

Travel still shapes much of my life — sometimes months on the road, sometimes long stretches back in Canada — but the heart of this project isn’t movement. It’s attention. The quiet kind that notices how a scene feels, not just what it looks like.

If any of this resonates with you, you’re welcome to follow along. Let’s see where this chapter leads, in its own time.
