The city in its details
The photos I chose for this travel notebook capture three different moments: Jackson Square, a streetcar in the fading light and the balconies of the French Quarter. Small fragments that suggest a way to experience the city: walking, observing, allowing a place to reveal itself between planned stops.
A stop that changes the trip
When thinking about the United States, it is easy to start with a list of cities and parks to connect. I would rather ask what you want to experience. New Orleans can become a stop with a character all its own if you give it enough time. The choice depends on the rest of your route, your interests and how you like to travel.
Your trip, not a checklist
Some people dream of the open road; others prefer to stay longer in one place. Some want to alternate cities and landscapes; others want to explore one place deeply. My job is to bring those preferences together with distances, travel times and services so the trip works once you are there.
Let’s start with your idea
If New Orleans is on your mind, tell me what draws you there and which other places you would like to see. Even a single photograph can be the start of an itinerary.
