Home is not always where you were born.
I am writing my way toward somewhere else and keeping notes as I go. Some of it works. Some of it does not. All of it belongs to the same question.
Starting from the United States. Originally from Jamaica. Bound for elsewhere. Because I haven't found home yet.
I left one country (Jamaica) and spent the next decade learning that arriving somewhere is not the same as belonging to it. This is the record of what I found out, what I got wrong, and what I am trying next. There is no method here and no promise. There is only the work of paying attention.

Where I have been looking so far...
These countries, researched properly, updated when the rules change. Not a ranking and not a recommendation. Just the places I research well enough to write about.
Once a month, when there is something worth saying.
Sometimes it is about a country. Sometimes it is about the question underneath the country. It arrives when it is ready rather than on a schedule I would only end up breaking.
One letter a month. Leave whenever you like.
There will be a longer letter later, for anyone who wants the full working. It is not ready and I would rather say so than sell you a date.
