Planes, Books & Biases

Welcome to the section of the internet where travel plans are built around concerts, bookstores, conventions, and fictional worlds that refuse to leave my brain.

Planes, Books & Biases is part travel diary, part fandom adventure log, and part proof that life does not stop being exciting after 50. Here you’ll find international trips, K-pop concert adventures, convention chaos, bookstore wanderings, travel tips, packing lists, fandom-inspired destinations, and the occasional questionable decision made in the name of a good story.

From navigating Tokyo train stations with too many books in my suitcase to planning trips around concerts and conventions, this space is about saying yes to adventure, curiosity, creativity, and the stories that connect us across the world.

Because sometimes the best chapters begin with a boarding pass.
