I'm a writer based in Minneapolis. My new book, The Forgotten States of America, is a travelogue about the US territories, coming February 14, 2017 from WW Norton & Company. Preorder it now:

Indiebound
Barnes & Noble
Amazon

My first book was Europe on Five Wrong Turns a Day (Perigee Books/Penguin, 2012), a travel memoir about my attempt to tour Europe guided only by a 1963 copy of the guidebook Europe on Five Dollars a Day. This blog has its roots in that trip, and if you dig back to the 2009 archives, you'll find my posts from the road.

Keep in touch

Long live the handwritten letter!
I'm on a mission to keep handwritten letters and postcards alive. Write to me! I'll write back (eventually--be warned that I'm kind of slow).
