CURRENT MISSION

To get thrown through the window of my comfort zone.

ABOUT ME

Not all that wander are lost. I'm not really good at lines, or places where they try to sell you plastic crap with city/country names on it. I want to see what the people who live there see everyday and take for granted. I want to meet the best chef in the city, and let him cook instead of ordering off some plastic menu. I want to get there before it becomes popular and exploited. When I leave, I want someone to be smiling.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in truth, for it's own sake.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I instinctively helped an elderly woman who had fallen while in Madrid. After I walked her home she insisted I come inside for a Coca Cola. I ended up staying with her and her family for a month. I practically had to escape in order to leave. I think I could have stayed there the rest of my life and they wouldn't have thought about it for a minute.
