Welcome to Nomadic Notes
I’m James Clark. I'm a digital nomad and I take notes of my travels, thus the name Nomadic Notes.
I've been travelling the world since 2003 while running a publishing business. I'm currently based in Southeast Asia, and I write about transport and urban development issues at Future Southeast Asia.
I post trip reports on my travels around the world in the "Notes on..." series. I write guides on train travel and where to stay in Southeast Asia. Find out more about me and Nomadic Notes.
