One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
here's one: I lived in a squat with 2000 people in the middle of Sao Paolo. It was in the middle of one of the worst neighborhoods, but inside this old dilapidated office building was an amazing community of some of the most intelligent, compassionate people that I've ever met.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach these things: how to load film in a Mamiya RZ, drive a stick shift, make an omelette, use an avalanche beacon.
