About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn as much as possible from as many people as possible while partying my ass off.

ABOUT ME

I travel because it allows me to learn things about other cultures that can't be taught in a textbook. I like watching how people walk, how they hold their knife and fork, how they hail a taxi, how they take their coffee, how they interact with their friends, how they show emotion. I'm not particularly phased by historical sights and beautiful buildings (although they are very nice); I am more interested in learning about cultural differences that could make me a better, happier person. I like to do things leisurely in order to savor every moment. I'm not the sort of traveler who is constantly going and going and going, I'm more interested in having an experience (a social connection, a cultural revelation, an amazing meal) than seeing a bunch of famous things. Something you should know: I'm constantly singing. If it gets annoying, you can tell me stop and I promise I won't get offended. Also, my hair color changes a lot. Don't let that confuse you.

PHILOSOPHY

"Without deviation from the norm, 'progress' is not possible." - Frank Zappa

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was Couchsurfing in Tangier, Morocco, my hosts and I woke up at 6am to see the sunrise on the beach. It was amazing.
