Asli Omur is a journalist and writer living in San Francisco, where she engages in sweaty uphill walking, dog-whispering, picture-taking and curious discoveries, amongst much else. Hers is a global existence, peppered with written words (also sometimes still stuck in her thoughts), cultures, languages, art, literature, films, old cameras, out-of-print books, air mail envelopes, self-reflection, technology and zen.
