CURRENT MISSION

Hello New Orleans!

ABOUT ME

After a long period of wandering, I've just moved to New Orleans and I'm looking to make some new friends and discover the city.

I've traveled quite a bit, so I have a few stories to share, but I usually prefer to hear others people's stories. I enjoy meeting new people of all persuasions.

PHILOSOPHY

"Exploration is the physical expression of the Intellectual Passion.

And I tell you, if you have the desire for knowledge and the power to give it physical expression, go out and explore. If you are a brave man you will do nothing: if you are fearful you may do much, for none but cowards have need to prove their bravery."

-Apsley Cherry-Garrard, The Worst Journey in the World

I like to read books by Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, James Joyce, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Cormac McCarthy, Homer, and George Orwell, among others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know about amazing, but 2010 has been ridiculous. This year I have 'lived' in California, Georgia, Colorado, Tokyo and now New Orleans. I traveled to Alaska; climbed Mt Fuji for my 30th birthday; went overland from Tokyo to Kathmandu via Mt Everest. I sort-of finished my first novel, which took me three years.

For now I just want to sit in a coffee shop on Magazine St and drink a cafe au lait. Which is what I'm doing.
