ABOUT ME

Once I got bit by a monkey in Morocco and I've been trying to get over my fear of them ever since.

PHILOSOPHY

El mundo era vasto, su aldea pequeña, y la gente interesante siempre acababa marchándose.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy singing late-90s rap songs and Disney musicals on lazy Spanish beaches. My Pandora station rotates between Vampire Weekend, Frank Zappa and Ja Rule radio.

I tend to watch Almost Famous and Planet Earth on a regular basis. Someone taught me a great Law &amp; Order drinking game once, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Something should happen every day that's worth telling.

But I do remember missing certain days before they even ended, and knowing I'm always going to have a certain amount of melancholia because of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm up for anything! :) OK a bit trite, maybe, but I really do take your word for it. I'm a travel writer constantly on the search for new experiences, and love to encourage others to do the same.

On the other hand, I've also had some of the most amazing experiences just sitting up, sharing a bottle, talking until the sun comes up.
