The Idea (2025-07-31)
The Continental Correspondent is an idea I came up with as I was driving across Europe after a visit home seeing family and friends. I knew that it would most likely be months if not years before I was to see all of them again, and so I wanted to explore ways of staying in touch other than the usual Whatsapp group chat, scattered message thread or the infrequent call. All of these forms of communication are fine in their own right and serve a purpose, however they suffer from the modern day issue of being unfocused and impersonal, they do not provide connection in the way sitting around with friends and family in person.
