- Ancient history and architecture.
- Politics, especially concerning consumer patterns affecting the climate and human and animal rights.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Perhaps my most breathtaking travel experience was seeing the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt and going inside.
On top of my list of most amazing things to do in the future is a trip to outer space (if it doesn't pollute the f*ck out of the planet).
