About

I don’t love packing or unpacking. But I love the in-between movement, the actual act of moving your body from one place to another. In this episode that touches on my drive from LA to NYC, we find a celebration of motion, movement, moving, migration, and all that comes along with it. In this episode we talk to writer, long-distance cyclist, and travel nurse, Mary Ann Thomas, a queer brown daughter of Indian immigrants, about home, home in migration, and home in movement. Follow Mary Ann Thomas on Instagram @postcardsfrommat Buy Asking for Elephants, the chapbook that Mary Ann co-authored with Daniel Baylis: Independent Option! Corporate option (Amazon).
