ABOUT

Who is Ferg?

Hey, my name is Charles Ferguson. Most of my friends call me Ferg. I appreciate that you’ve made it this far down the page before I introduce myself.

I’m a wanderer, nomad, whatever you want to call it. Titles don’t hold much weight while vagabonding—experiences do.

These days, you can find me wearing varying hats: freelance writer, foreign language coach, and, at times, vineyard hand.

The latter probably needs more explanation.

That is why I created Ferg’s Focus: To explore how we can frame our travels to achieve the best versions of ourselves. Read the newsletter below.

Stories, Videos, Meditations, Etc…

Ever wonder what it’d be like to sail up the Amazon River? Or what the streets are like when Argentina wins a World Cup Final? Or even how the Brazilian favela was first formed?

Moving around ignites curiosity in ways nothing else can.

Check out my articles and videos covering all things travel from serendipitous adventures to existential meditations.

As the settings change, so do I—but no matter the topic, it will always be tied to actualizing self-potential through travel.
