A roaming journal
of stories and sidetracks
Sign up to my newsletter
On this website, and in the accompanying newsletter, you’ll find writing and photo stories about travelling actively through life.
How do places reveal themselves through journeys on foot or by bike? How do cycling and walking shape our understanding of ourselves? How can we fight for the right to move freely through our environment on foot or awheel?
I explore questions like these as I navigate the byways of place writing, memoir, activism, and creative non-fiction. Popular posts include:

Your right to roam
By signing up, you'll get access to the full archive of everything I've published here. As you wander through my site, you'll also be supporting open-source software developed by a not-for-profit foundation. I chose Ghost for my website and newsletter because of the company’s values.

A wayfaring stranger
I’m interested in the idea of wayfaring as a way of being, finding paths through life while welcoming diversions and detours, and in the process shaping ideas to live by.
As a private person in the digital world, I value my anonymity. So on this site I remain, for now, simply Matt, who pedals.
It’s good to have you along for the ride.
