I began blogging in 2007, publishing paintings and poetry until I transitioned to writing about my travels, eventually getting attention on HuffingtonPost.com, BootsnAll.com, as well as major personal growth sites like StevePavlina.com.
In addition, my photography appeared in some surprising places, including OnlyInYourState.com and a Swiss Mathematics textbook (See it on Amazon). I’ve also been featured or appeared on many podcasts. See full list on my about page →
In 2012, I began blogging less to focus on longer works, publishing my first Sci-Fi novel later that year. Since then, I’ve focused on publishing books, but I still post daily snapshots from my life for your enjoyment.
Currently, the MYTH.LI archive contains 924 posts.
