Johnny Motley

Johnny Motley is a writer based in Brooklyn. He studied religion at Harvard and taught humanities before entering the wilds of freelance journalism. He writes about travel, men’s fashion, whiskey, and the occasional off-one piece on Stoic philosophy. He would probably tell you that his louche travel stories on Substack represent his finest work.
