I'm a travel writer, blogger and TV host. I've somehow convinced lots of people to not only read my work, but actually like it too...suckers.

Making scrambles, finding spontaneous adventures, and laughing at myself.

My smile (dimples) and my exuberant personality.

a. One Hundred Years of Solitude, Sideways Stories from Wayside School, Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, On the Road, The Things They Carried, Ender's Game, Holy Blood Holy Grail, Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Jitterbug Perfume, A Prayer for Owen Meany, Preacher, The Vampire Lestat, anything by Vonnegut so much more...

b. The Goonies, Dazed & Confused, Pulp Fiction, City of God, The Princess Bride, The Neverending Story, Fear and Loathing, Garden State, The Godfather 1 & 2, a bunch of Star Wars.

d. This is just some, I love music more than most things on this earth: Curtis Mayfield, Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Outkast, Cee-Lo, The Grateful Dead, Devil Makes Three, Jay-Z, Nas, CSNY, Nick Drake, Tim Hardin, Thom Bell, Sly and the Family Stone, Three Mile Pilot, The Stones, Issac Hayes, Teddy Pendegrass, PortisHead, D'Angelo.

Time travel. I know it's nerdy but I think about stuff like "would I would die from weird medieval diseases?" Yes, I probably would die from weird medieval diseases.

Riding the perpetual hum of a San Francisco weekend night.

If you're smart, like word play, don't take yourself too seriously, and like to laugh a lot.
