I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:
I'm sitting up at night, because the conversation's too interesting to go to bed.
Ideal place to watch the sunrise:
a rooftop in Mali
Ideal place to watch the sunset:
on the beach in Popenguine, Senegal
Before I die I'd like to:
I have a list of books I have to finish. The other more guilty secret is that I'd kind of like to write one too. I want people to visit wherever I might end up and a dozen more trips and a half dozen languages to my name. Last but not least, I'd like to have some idea of what I want to do with my life. Graduation's getting closer.
Let's collaborate:
I'm an amateur radio producer and freelance writer. I love multimedia projects so let me know if you have any ideas. I'm up to try most things.
