Dear Readers,

Welcome!

This Substack will be a collection of my writings about travel, life in Bombay, Buenos Aires, London and Sydney about Argentine tango, chess, literature, politics and other obsessions and about what I am learning after half a century of a life not always lived wisely, but often with passion. I’ll be posting three to four pieces a month: at least one of them brand new. If this piques your interest, do subscribe. Most written content will be available free, but the spiciest pieces will be reserved for paying subscribers only, as a thank you for helping to support my writing.

Why the name, The Second Swim? There’s a story behind that choice. See below:
