Currently in san francisco.
I am an ex-nomad with a half Thai/half South African tooth, and a zig-zaggedy scar from Istanbul. I’ve been shot at by Chinese police siding with the Tibetans, made an emergency landing in Latvia and just missed getting run over by a crazy Russian. When not getting into trouble about the globe, I sell advertising.
