Get Lost With Me
If you're new, start here
Hi, I’m Zefan — and this is VERY LOST.
VERY LOST is a space for people who feel different in different places — and are obsessed with why.
VERY LOST is not not a travel blog. I won’t convince you to visit Lisbon or Bali. I’m interested in how place shows us our own bravery, creates unexpected kindness in strangers, unlocks different versions of ourselves, or can feel like home in a moment.
I’m Zefan. After a Big Tech layoff, I spent two years living and traveling through 25 countries. As I tried to make sense of how these experiences were reshaping my identity, VERY LOST was born.
This space is where you’ll find:
Stories centered on my lived experiences across 50 countries
Essays rooted both in my Eritrean heritage and global wandering
Reflections on how space and geography shape the people that we become
Thanks for getting lost with me. I’m glad you’re here, and excited about where we’ll go next.
