Welcome to SullyRoams

A thousand years and you

might never see it all

not every alley

not every staircase

you couldn't hope to see

all the shadows of even one corner

taste every taste, you couldn't

as fast as it comes, they go

I'd like to try, though

It wasn’t until later in my teens that I would make any correlation between the dreams and this place. I don’t know where the initial captivation came from for this particular country. I was fascinated with it before I knew where or what IT was exactly. A place so different from home, and oddly so familiar and comfortable. I won’t pretend to know it all, but I can share my experiences at face value; The excitement of the unknown, in Japan.

It wasn’t until I had traveled the majority of the US and to some other significant countries that I would be able to afford my opportunity and take a spontaneous trip to Tokyo at age 25.

I had purchased a flight barely 24 hours before I would be leaving for 6 nights. The wait was over, I needed a sip of the good stuff, I needed to know how the air smelled. Until now I had never compared any other time in my life to the likeness of a movie.

I won’t pretend; the long built up wait to visit the Island of Japan played a role in the personal spectacularity I was to be engulfed by, but maybe only a little.

Being in a foreign country where every day is so new, every day is a lesson, It just simply makes me feel like a kid once again. Except for once I was in a classroom that had my complete attention.

A few years have passed since that first trip and I’ve made a point to spend as much time in Japan as I can afford. I’ve made a few trips that lasted 1.5 months now and In 2017 I pretty much stayed broke the entire year traveling back and forth from the US to Japan where I spent just over 3 months with my feet on the ground. I’m now making the time to recount my travels and experiences. I fell in love with Japan for multiple reasons. This website is dedicated to a couple things. I might not have any friends in Japan if it weren’t for my love of Automobiles and Japan may just be the pinnacle of automotive experience no matter what scene you are into. The other love is that of roaming; exploring whats unknown to me, in no particular order or sense of direction. I find interest in every little street corner. Right or Left? Up or Down? I’ll decide once I get to the junction...

There will be LOTS of film photography in the mix.

Where will we be when I’m finished recounting the adventures, as of now-I'm unsure. I have a dream of living in Japan but it will stay that, just for now. I'm hoping that I will be able to meet some new people and share future adventures. Aside from photography I would really like to do some profile videos on artists, photographers, stories, creating short documentaries is a real special thing to me.

In the mean-time I’ll be here sharing stories, feel free to contact me through the ADVANCE tab.

Stay Roaming
