Some of my work is location-independent.
Some of it is public-facing.
Most of it is exploratory.
This page isn’t a portfolio, and it isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a snapshot of the environments I work in, the projects I stay close to, and the media I use to think more clearly over time.
Nomad Life as a Working Context
I’ve lived and worked outside my country of origin for many years, across different regions and cultures. What started as mobility eventually became something more deliberate.
Long-term nomad life strips away certain assumptions:
- about productivity
- about stability
- about how much structure is actually necessary to do meaningful work
Living without a fixed base forces constant recalibration — of energy, routines, focus, and priorities. Over time, you begin to see how the environment shapes thinking, and how certain ways of working either compound freedom or quietly drain it.
Nomad life, for me, isn’t about movement for its own sake. It’s a way of staying observant — of noticing how different systems operate, how incentives change behavior, and how work feels when it isn’t tied to a single place or identity.
That perspective informs everything else I do.
Media as Documentation, Not Performance
I use writing and video as tools for clarification rather than output.
Some of that takes the form of long-form writing — reflections on work, independence, systems, and lived experience. Other parts show up in video and media projects that document life on the move, without trying to compress it into spectacle.
I’m less interested in publishing frequently than in publishing honestly.
Media, in this context, is not about reach or optimization first. It’s a way to:
- slow thinking down
- make patterns visible
- leave a trail that makes sense later
Over time, these pieces form a record — not of achievements, but of understanding.
Ongoing Projects and Experiments
Rather than fixed “brands” or finished products, most of what I work on lives somewhere between idea and execution.
These projects evolve as my interests sharpen:
- Nomad Over 50
Nomad Over 50 is a long-term media and writing project exploring life, work, health, and identity as a mature digital nomad. The focus is less on destinations and advice, and more on sustainability — physical, financial, and mental — over the long arc of nomadic life. - Writing on MartinGram.com
Essays and reflections that sit upstream of execution. Thinking in public, slowly, without trying to resolve everything into conclusions. - Media & Video Work
Short and long-form videos as documentation rather than production. Observations, places, transitions, and moments that reveal more in hindsight than in real time. Some of this work also takes shape through video and long-form documentation on YouTube.
Each of these exists as an experiment — a way of staying engaged without locking myself into a single narrative.
How This Connects
These projects aren’t endpoints.
They’re working surfaces.
They allow me to stay independent while remaining connected — to ideas, to people, and to the realities of how modern work actually unfolds over time.
If you’re interested in how this thinking shows up in practice, you’ll find it in the writing.
If you’re curious how it’s lived, you’ll find it in the media.
And if you’re here simply to understand how someone navigates work and independence over the long arc, this page is part of that answer.
