About

I’m Simon Nelson, and this blog is a home for thoughts that don’t always fit neatly in one place. ElsewhereMan is about curiosity, reflection, and the quiet pull to look beyond the obvious. It’s for anyone who feels both rooted and restless at the same time.

The idea behind the name comes from that feeling of being mentally “elsewhere” — thinking deeper, questioning routines, and searching for meaning outside the usual paths. Sometimes that means writing about life, sometimes culture, sometimes personal lessons, and sometimes ideas that are still taking shape.

This is not a polished highlight reel. It’s a personal space for honest writing, observations, and stories shaped by experience. Some posts may be practical, others reflective, but all of them are written with intention and authenticity.

ElsewhereMan isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking better questions, slowing down long enough to notice what matters, and allowing space for growth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re in the world but also thinking beyond it, you’re in the right place.

Thanks for being here and reading along.
