An overview of my travels around the United States (and hopefully, soon, the world!).
I love yoga, rock climbing, mountain biking, cycling, running, swimming, hiking, kayaking, and more!
I've always loved books, so my obsession with bookstores should hardly surprise anyone. Take a look at some of my absolute favorites here.
"When we read novels, we are not only who we are, but, in addition, we are the bewitched beings into whose midst the novelist transfers us. The transfer is a metamorphosis -- the asphyxiating constriction of our lives opens up and we sally forth to be others, to have the vicarious experiences that fiction converts into our own. A wondrous dream, a fantasy incarnate, fiction completes us, mutilated beings burdened with the awful dichotomy of having only one life and the ability to desire a thousand. This gap between real life and the desires and fantasies demanding that it be richer and more varied is the realm of fiction." (Mario Vargas Llosa)
