I originally planned Personal Geographies as an idiosyncratic travel guide to the places I have lived and been shaped by over the years. In practice, the site will probably evolve closer to a Disney World style “It’s A Small World” ride where you wait in a long line to be strapped into a car that takes you on a pre-programmed tour of ethnically costumed robots singing happy songs about their indigenous origins. Either way I hope to settle the nature vs. nurture debate once and for all.
