Hello! I’m Jonathan, I’m a rising junior and a Creative Writing and East Asian Language and Culture double major! I’m excited to explore the intersection of literature, culture, and politics found in the bookpacking experience. I’m especially interested in the development of the prison system to the ends of prison abolition and hope that tracing that story by page and by foot will bring new insight towards my understanding of the legal system. I also hope to experience the rich cultures of London and Paris that have been and continue to be so influential in a modern interconnected world – and I hope to write lots of poetry and drink lots of coffee in cafes across London and Paris along the way.
