ABOUT ME

Stir-crazy journalist from St. Louis, living in Chicago. Slowly writing and photographing my way through a peculiar bucket list of places to visit. ryanschuessler.com.

音乐、电影和书籍

Anything Steinbeck. Have read the Bible cover to cover and didn't understand a word of it.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Accidentally crashing a bar mitzvah in a cafe next to the synagogue in Tbilisi, Georgia. Tagged along on a Russian Orthodox pilgrimage in Alaska's Kodiak Archipelago. Will never forget holding a baby newly born to Syrian refugees starting a new life in Missouri.

教，学，和分享

Did you know the waffle cone was invented in St. Louis? You're welcome, world.

Stories. Willingness to learn about where you live and keep an open mind. Happy to cook a meal or two (hope you like Balkan-German food).
