1a. When my father died, my brother and I decided to arrange a bicycle tour starting from his memorial. We spent 9 days on the road, leaving from Marin County, California (north of San Francisco) and arriving in Los Angeles 8 days later, after 550 miles (880 km). Best thing I've ever done. 1b. I've been to Burning Man, which was a life-changing experience that I can only properly describe in person. However, you can see my great accomplishment from the festival here (in which I solve a 40-foot Rubik's Cube, at the exact moment it's solved): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GC13nB_P7A

I can take a person to a climbing gym and teach them the basics (including how to belay), I can give weeks worth of advice for visits to Colombia, San Francisco, Portland, or Copenhagen, I can show some basics on the guitar, and above all I can lead a pretty mean night at the karaoke bar.

Playing Outside (running, hiking, biking, climbing, Ultimate frisbee, soccer, skiing, you name it); Musical Instruments (I look for people that can help me learn guitar); Politics and Policy; Investing in people and community; and Generally being kind of a nerd I can geek out on almost anything ... I particularly like learning about the way things work, which means I absolutely can't get enough of the Radio Lab podcast on NPR. I like making cocktails and cookies, and I love hosting do-it-yourself sushi parties.
