About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Where in the world is Marco Polo?

ABOUT ME

I once believed that I knew what I wanted. Only to be unsatisfied by many of the things I believed would make a person happy.

I've played Rundpingis in Stockholm, shared a beer with Catalan separatists in Barcelona, got pick-pocketed outside the Louvre in Paris, slept outside the gates of London Zoo, got stormed out of South Beach, cruised Boston Harbor, spent too much money during the World Cup in Russia, got stormed out again while trying to paraglide in Valle de Bravo, visited an old Turkish hamam in Istanbul.

PHILOSOPHY

Freely Ye Received, Freely Give.
