Introduction Writer, explorer, restless American soul. This is a blog about self-discovery — one mans attempt to trade sweaters for sandals, and parkas for palm trees. This is a story of culture and survival on the shores and in the slums of Salvador, Brazil. To all threads crossing my path, welcome to my head, my life, my Lion’s Den.
