ABOUT ME

I'm on a road trip!

I'm from New England and have spent most of my life there. One day five years ago, after reading Blue Highways, I thought it would be nice to go see America for myself. So now I'm finally off to see the U.S.A. I'm spending three months with my friend vertically zig zagging across the country, hoping to meet all sorts of wonderful and interesting people.
