Friends, Not Miles



A journey is best measured in friends, not miles.
- Tim Cahill

My favorite part of traveling is the people you meet. Some of the interesting characters we have spent time with include:
  • Todd, a gregarious CEO from California who took a year off of work to travel the world with his family
  • Laura, a young Swiss physician
  • Chistian, an entertaining head chef from Sweden
  • Jason, an economist from the UK
  • Ryan and Erin, Colorado pharmacists who, with a local shaman, have been experimenting with the hallucinogenic effects of Peruvian iowaska
  • Fabian, a German who started an iPhone usability testing company
  • Raissa, a director for a Brazilian children's TV show
  • Mike, a microbrewer from Colorado who left the states after serving a short stint in jail because of his Occupy Wallstreet activity. He now plans to start a brewery and live in La Paz, Bolivia because "the USA is blowing up man."
