SIX SUMMERS AT SEA.
FOUR WINTERS IN THE SNOW.
For six summers, I worked on sailboats in Taiwan.
I started as crew, learning to read the wind and the swell, and eventually became a captain.
For four winters, I followed the snow to Japan, managing people and teaching people to snowboard.
The ocean taught me to let go.
The mountains taught me to keep moving.
In 2025, I left both worlds behind.
No next contract.
No return ticket.
Just a backpack, and the feeling that there was still somewhere else to go.
Somewhere between the places I had left and the places I had yet to find, AFTERDRIFT began.
Not from having arrived,
but from everything I carried along the way.
Bali, now.
The current brought me back.
No return date. No fixed address.
Just somewhere between where I’ve been and where I’m going.
Drifting was never about moving fast.
It was about leaving room for whatever comes next.
Follow the current.
Piece one of twenty — first run, Bali
TWENTY HATS.
GIVEN AWAY, NEVER SOLD.
Before the candles, there were twenty hats.
Handmade in Bali, they were never meant to be products on a shelf.
Each hat finds its way to someone we trust, or someone we happen to meet along the way.
No campaign.
No price tag.
Just a small gesture, passed from one drifter to another.
One simple thought to carry with you:
Keep going.
