This page used to have a contact form. I removed it: forms collect spam, and the people who really want to reach me always find the direct way anyway.
I answer my own messages. There is no ticket system, no autoresponder, no team pretending to be me. The honest trade-off: I spend a good part of the year on the road — between Agadir, Dubai, Egypt and wherever the next story is — so an answer can take a day or it can take a week. It comes.
