The Gregory J. Blog

I’ve spent much of my adult life abroad—nearly two decades in China, and years traveling across Asia as a digital nomad. My blog posts, which I call Wanderings, are part travel journal, part lifestyle reflection. They capture everything from mountain treks in the Himalayas to quiet moments in rural Chinese villages. Some are about the places I’ve been; others are about the person I’ve become while living far from home. If you’re curious about life abroad, or just want a window into a different rhythm of living, those posts are a good place to start.
