I'm fired up on:

Dinner parties, beer, hiking, music, literature, photography, absurdity, spectacle and novelty.

Tunes I rock out to:

I like rock, jazz, and country when I'm at home. On the road I try to listen to as much local music as possible. If it's live, I will listen to it.

Travel style:

I try to blend sightseeing with the pursuit of my everyday happiness. I like to see the marquee attractions, but I am usually unwilling to accomplish this at the expense of my sanity.

Sports I do:

Walking

Favorite artist(s):

Edward Hopper, Marc Chagall and many others.

Favorite books:

I wouldn't know where to begin.

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

People excited by life who treat travel as a means to a destination rather than a means of escape.

I want to make a difference by:

Being a decent person on a moment-to-moment basis.

Languages spoken, other than English:

Spanish, Mandarin Chinese

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

I've been lucky enough to be invited into someone's home.

Why I travel:

I have more freedom to do so than 99% of all the people who have ever lived. If I don't owe it to myself, I owe it to them.

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

From behind the curtains or close to the equator

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

In the valley to the south of the Alhambra

Before I die I'd like to:

Exhaust my wanderlust.

Let's collaborate:

I take photographs and write. I'm available to do either of these things on a freelance or part-time basis. I'd also be interested in collaborating with people attempting newfangled global art projects such as synchronized film festivals or exhibitions, as well as gallery/artist village directories and traveler communities.
