Strategic interpretation for the future of travel & hospitality.
Sojourn is an independent publication offering strategic interpretation for the future of travel and hospitality.
It exists to interpret how culture, identity, and business are reshaping where people go, how they stay, and what they’re seeking.
The word Sojourn comes from Old French and literally means a temporary stay. But here, it means a place to pause and understand what’s changing before you decide where to go next.
Twice a week, Sojourn publishes short, opinionated interpretations on the shifts reshaping travel and hospitality, and what that means for founders, operators, brands, and future-facing leaders.
One issue each week is open to all. The second is for paid members, where the conversations and the thinking are shaped in real time, a more direct way to reach me, others, and the work behind the scenes.
Sojourn covers:
hospitality and hotel brands
travel and experience design
culture, identity, and taste
business models and positioning
how people choose where to go, stay, and belong
Why subscribe?
Not news. Not trends. Interpretation. The shifts reshaping travel and hospitality.
Sojourn is built around how I see the industry: what I notice, how I connect patterns, and how I interpret what’s coming next drawing from a life lived across continents and culture, and a career spent building brands in global travel and hospitality. Your subscription makes this work possible.
Why Paid Membership Exists
This work takes time, attention, and judgment.
Sojourn isn’t built as content to consume. It’s built as thinking to work through.
Paid membership supports the work behind each issue, and gives you access to the conversation itself: the comments, the back-and-forth, and the place where the thinking is happening.
About the Archive
Sojourn began as a more personal, reflective exploration of travel, hospitality, and personal reinvention.
In January 2026, it evolved into its current format: short, opinionated interpretations on the future of travel and hospitality.
Paid members have access to the full archive as a record of how this thinking was formed.
