Music, Movies, and Books

Currently reading For Whom the Bell Tolls. Currently listening to lots of Systema Solar and Bomba Estereo (I've been in Colombia for two months clearly.)

Love The New Yorker and also lowbrow fare like Vice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently the Lost City / Cuidad Perdida trek in northern Colombia. So good! So crazy!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make pickles! And that's about it... I can make decent caipirhinas and mojitos. I can also repair clothing and discuss the riveting intricacies of leveraged corporate finance and how it contributed to the collapse of America's financial system. It's a good bedtime story haha.
