The Everywhereist
Geraldine DeRuiter's travel writing, food essays and personal humor from around the world.
About The Everywhereist
The Everywhereist is the personal travel and essay blog of Geraldine DeRuiter. She launched the site after being laid off and began tagging along on trips taken for her husband Rand's work, writing travel stories to help them remember where they had been. The site has been active since 2009 and now contains more than 1,400 posts, and has drawn attention from outlets such as TIME and The New York Times. Geraldine mixes travel dispatches with food writing, feminist and pop culture essays, and book news. Posts regularly include original photography and long-form personal narrative.
Geraldine's voice is the thing that makes this blog unmistakable - darkly funny, candid and conversational in a way that reads like a long, whisky-soaked chat with a sharp friend. The new post sample is a nearly two-thousand-word riff that blends travel-flavored storytelling with food criticism, grief and pop culture asides, and it comes with a dozen original photos to punctuate the text. The site is best for readers who like long-form travel and food essays, author updates and witty personal pieces, and for anyone who follows her books and speaking work. Posting is episodic, a few posts a year, so expect occasional, substantial reads rather than daily updates.
