One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in an old storefront behind a night market outside of Jakarta for a year and then in a beautiful wooden house on stilts overlooking a massive mountain and rice paddies in Cimande, West Java. When I was younger I hopped trains across the US and once I saw a killer whale breach while sea kayaking off the coast of Alaska.
