When I left college with a degree in journalism I found myself saturated in theory, but lacking in practical and applicable knowledge.
I will always be learning about how to become a better travel journalist.

My mother always said she had only two rules for me in life: ???Never ride a motorcycle and never hitchhike. That??s all I ask. Everything else is up to you.???
The first time I rode a motorcycle, it took only five minutes for me to burn a hole the size of a grapefruit in my right calf. Mom drove me to the hospital. ???Please, please don??t hitchhike,??? she said.

I try to imagine a universe where rice isn??t grown, but hunted - the wild rice beast, a dangerous prey??

There are a lot of people in the world who have absolutely no idea what being vegetarian or vegan really means. Some people think it means you don??t eat rice or ketchup. Some people think it means you DO eat fish and chicken. And there are people who think you??re a lunatic hell-bent on starving yourself to death.
