And the journey begins! Hop along on this cross-country road trip as I shoot a documentary about the value of independent bookstores in the United States. This week I leave Raleigh for the Appalachian Mountains, seaside Charleston, the big city of Atlanta, and much more.

Welcome to my blog! This first post is a lovely condensation of what I did and how I felt before departing home for 2.5 months to shoot a documentary on the road. This weekly engagement will keep you updated on how my journey went in regard to the bookstores I visited, the friends I met, and any personal moments I felt inclined to share.
