I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
The volcano awaits! Nothing more exciting than flying into a piece of earth where everything is both diverging and converging and one’s personal space is a fiery air. They wanted to breath in the ash-sooted air and feel fire on their skins one last time before the end of the life […]
