ABOUT ME

I grew up in Connecticut, never having traveled much beyond the borders of New England. One day it hit me that there was a whole world out there beyond Boston and New York City. So, I packed my bags, and headed out to a magical little city called Tokyo. After 4 years of hi-grade raw fish, I decided to pick up and head to South America for beautiful beaches and a warmer climate. Sadly, nobody told me Belo Horizonte didn't have any beaches. But what it lacked in coast line, it more than made up for with friendly people, great restaurants, and a wide assortment of barzinhos. Another 4 years passed and now I've recently moved to Bonn, Germany and hoping to explore Germany and meet some cool people.
