I am an international traveler living and teaching in Asia.
"The only people for me are the mad ones,
the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk,
mad to be saved,
desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing,
but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars
and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop
and everybody goes "Awww!”
-Jack Kerouac
Diving, writing, film, reading, sculling, theater, museums, art in all forms, travel, swimming, blogging, good conversation, speeding on a long empty highway on a motorcycle, and last, but not least: a really, really good cup of coffee
