I live not in myself but I become
portion of that around me

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I lived for three months above 3000 meters in the Altiplano. Floated the entire length of the Amazon River. Hitchhiked across the Balkans. Scuba dove an active, underwater volcano. Saw a woman killed before my eyes, then watched paramedics bring her back to life. Stood above the world on top of a couple mountains...
...but the charity of everyday strangers and fellow vagabonds still tops the list.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Smiles, laughs, doodles, meals, a few swapped tales, a drink, an honest critique (but only if you want to hear me out)...
