Life Is A Slow Harold

Garrett Palm's travel journal.

Music is one of my main inspirations for travel, and Lhasa de Sela is one of my favorite travel inspiring musicians. Whenever I listen to her, I have the strong urge to be out somewhere incredibly foreign to me where I’m forced to learn new behaviors and ways of living. Her voice is unique and rich, and her songs are beautiful and mysterious, a rare combination.

She passed away this New Year’s Day from breast cancer at the age of 37. Before making Montreal her home, she grew up as a nomad out of a school bus in the US and Mexico. Wherever she is now, I’m sure she’s still living a full life.
