Small Planet Big World Is Moving Again

There was a time when this blog felt like the center of everything.

A place to write things down. To slow moments down. To try to understand what travel meant, not just where I went.

And then, like a lot of things, it went quiet.

Not because the curiosity disappeared. Not because the movement stopped. If anything, the opposite happened. Life kept moving, trips kept happening, stories kept unfolding. They just weren’t landing here.

For a long time, I told myself I’d come back to writing. That I’d pick it up again, the way it used to be. But something had shifted. Not away from storytelling, just toward a different way of doing it.

So instead of forcing this space back into what it was, I decided to let it evolve into what it can be now.

Small Planet Big World is still here. It’s just… in motion again.

Over the past few years, Nefertiti and I have been documenting our travels on video. Not just highlights, but full days. The in-between moments. The long drives. The unexpected turns. The feeling of being somewhere, not just passing through it.

That’s where the stories are landing now.

It’s a different medium, but the intention is the same:

To explore what it means to move through a world that is physically small, but endlessly expansive in experience.

This blog isn’t going away. It just won’t be the primary place for the story anymore. Maybe it becomes a place for reflection. Maybe it fills in the gaps that video can’t quite reach. Or maybe it just sits quietly and occasionally wakes up when there’s something worth saying in words.

For now, if you’re looking for where we’ve been—and where we’re going next—that’s happening on YouTube.

Still the same idea. Just a different form.

If you’ve been following along here over the years, I’d love to see you over there.
