Jamming with Gnaoua musicians in Morocco; arriving at the top of Mt. Katahdin in Maine; tasting homemade miso in my own kitchen, and hopefully meeting you!

Language geek by nature, an Arabic teacher by trade; I play the blues harmonica, train capoeira, make sauerkraut and will serve you a mean homebrew. One of my many faults is my belief that the more books I acquire, the more of them I will actually read.
