I am fortunate to have traveled to many cities in the world. From Manila to Chicago, from Paris to Dubai, from Singapore to Cairo. Places that are my anchor, for the stories I tell. Stories that, in turn, lend meaning to these places. Not only mine, but also those of friends. our journeys, our journals.

Myanmar Craftsman Ko Cho Making Guitars
Myanmar craftsman Ko Cho has been making guitars at his home on the outskirts of Yangon for nearly two decades. Today, most of his guitars are built from mahogany, which was found strewn across the city after Cyclone Nargis hit the region in 2008. He said using this naturally-fallen wood meant he was creating for "remembrance", referring to the estimated 138,000 people who died during the storm that ravished the country.
