We believe in getting to know people and places through commerce and design. Someone else's daily diet of lo-fi goods is simple to her yet sacred to us, and vice versa. Let's marvel at each other's mundane, because that shit is dope.

All in Travel
What I don’t understand – how can a country proud of their deep design history and a love of typography, how come they don’t have a bunch of Finnish companies crankin’ out office-supply goods for everyone?
Ukraine – you be one big tease. Took forever and a day to hunt down all the goodness but sometimes the chase is where it’s at.
People ask where I’m headed next and I can respond with almost any country and their eyes light up with excitement. Unless… I mention Mexico. No response, no love. Why? I don’t understand it!
The weather in Quito is seriously four seasons in every day. But what all that crazy-ass weather gets you? RAINBOWS.
The people are friendly, they recognize that I’m not local and they chat me up, I know we’re friends before they even get a chance to say hello. I want a Finch’s Market on my corner. Damn – I’ll even settle for one anywhere in Seattle.
Two missions – huntin’ for dope-ass goods and perfect breaks to surf. And like a Puerto Rican highway, you don’t know what the f’uk is goin’ on but you make it work.
All I could think about before heading down to Peru? Ceviche. Shocking but true – office supplies came second to food.
Holy f'n what the what? Did I really wake up at 5am for 10 days straight… 10 flights, 10 bus rides, 9 cab rides, 2 train rides, and 1 airport shuttle… almost missed my flight home to leave Peru empty-handed? Of course not.
Look up hygge and you’ll find a ton of different translations. I mean, it’s hard to describe something that’s unspoken. You don’t learn how to do it. You just end up in it, doin’ it and totally lovin’ it.
Feelin’ like a kid in a candy shop – I couldn’t stop handling all the different types of papers and checking out the tools and equipment.
