I like travelling, writing words and taking pictures. Lucky for me, these things go together rather nicely. I dig sticky weather, abandoned buildings, visiting planetariums and getting from A to B in the most interesting way possible (husky sled, old yellow school bus, rollerblading etc). While I think the phrase “getting under the skin of a place” is kind of gross, I’m totally on board with the idea behind it. One time I spent a week in an apple orchard with an artist who restores old gypsy caravans for a living. I was in charge of riding his donkey, but it was so stubborn it made me cry.
