10 Places I Will Visit Before I Die

Everyday, I sit at my computer and hammer out as much creative stuff as I can in a day. Most days, that is no problem. But, sometimes, I need a change of scenery, some movement, some action, some newness to stir me. Traveling is my favorite way to get things shakin’. Even if it is a mini-trip to the beach near my house or leaving the office to work out of a coffeeshop for the day, for me small changes can produce big results in the way of productivity and inspiration. On occasion, though, I need something huge, something that will do more than just stir, but stagger…something so awesome it completely changes the way I see everything after experiencing it. On those occasions, only a big time adventure to will do. So, before I die, I will be packing up the wife and kids and heading out to adventure, to see some of the world’s most amazing wonders. Here are a few I will be checking out in the coming years…you’re welcome to join me.

I am an author and a Creative Director. My latest books are:

Sky Full of Elephants – coming 2024

Violet in Some Places – Available at Not A Cult

As a full-time creative (Chief Creative Officer at Spherical), I spend most days at the desk leading a team of creatives to brand some of the best hotels in the world. So, I write in the nooks and crannies of my available time. I wake up at 5:30am just to get in a few hours putting words on paper. I write on the train. I write on planes. I write waiting in lines. I feel I have to write. The reason is simple: representation.

Cebo Campbell Author of Violet in Some Places

I often tell the story of Ferris Bueller; a kid who decides to skip school and, on charm alone, steals a car, impersonates a cop, drinks underage, tampers with computers, and at every step exposes his best friends to peril, only to go home and fall asleep with his mother to kiss him into sweet dreams. I asked myself if Ferris were Trayvon Martin, how might that story end? I know the answer. So do you. And this is why representation is so important. I aim to contribute more stories into the world that diversely feature regular (but beautiful) lives made extraordinary. Art, I believe, is the only way to accomplish this. All my creative work is inspired by and aims to add to all the great work in the world.
