I like to say that I’m a world citizen with a notebook in hand to write, sketch, and tell stories with all senses present. Travelogue, carnet de voyage, sketchnote, commonplace book, all these concepts apply to what I trust to my pages in one way or another. Zibaldone is probably my favorite description because, like an Italian pasta dish prepared by my wife, it sounds as good as it tastes.
