We all know of that whimsically brilliant man riddled with rebellious hair. But how did Einstein come to be the icon that we know today? And what did he really discover? Look no further than this brilliant documentary written by Walter Isaacson. I loved the deep insights into this brilliant, yet greatly human genius’s life.

A Hop Across the Pond
In a land far, far away, there is a place called Havana where the rivers run free and commercialism has yet to hold a solid grip. Yes, you guessed it. This place is Cuba. Just a few years ago, the gates to this treasured place were opened up to Americans (only about 50 years afterContinue reading “A Hop Across the Pond”
$85 a day
How much can $85 give you in one day? A cart of groceries? A fancy dinner and movie for 2? An iPod? These things sound good, even great. But what if I told you that with $85 a day, you could travel the world? Well…now I’m telling you! $85 a day is plenty enough toContinue reading “$85 a day”
The Return: (North) ‘Merica
Well, it’s late July. Not sure exactly how time travels so quickly but if we could monetize that speed none of us would need to work ever again. In this short time, I realized a few things. First, I kinda sorta needed a job. Second, a shower and haircut were imminent. And third, I wasContinue reading “The Return: (North) ‘Merica”
A Reunion in Haiti – vol. 2
During the week, it was Alexa’s birthday. She runs the childrens’ home and we all ran to a beautiful farm to celebrate the day. The farm was organic and used ingenious methods to grow crops and other plants cheaply and efficiently. It was so much cooler on the top of the mountain where the grassesContinue reading “A Reunion in Haiti – vol. 2”
A Reunion in Haiti – vol. 1
140 days past. Countless memories. Countless people. Countless blessings. It’s pretty incredible up to this point that I haven’t lost anything…or worse. My mind is everywhere. Riding a taxi to the airport after a nice final morning walking the streets of Santiago with a friend brought so many thoughts to the fold. My final hoursContinue reading “A Reunion in Haiti – vol. 1”
Riding North
An illustrious half week in Futaleufu filled with camping, rafting, and lots of outdoors led to some pangs of desire for urban life. I had been in the lesser populated and incredibly beautiful nature I so desperately craved coming from the graveled earth of the NYC metro area. But now, I wanted that city experience again.Continue reading “Riding North”
The Road to Futaleufu
It was back to two backpacks now. The nice part about hiking for 8 days is that you only need to bring one. I left the other in the hotel. Clamoring to the bus station, I rode to Punta Arenas. Another coastal town about 4 hours further south. It was here, the following morning, thatContinue reading “The Road to Futaleufu”
A Surprise
So I know that I’ve been counting down the days and the plan was to arrive on April 24. However, I lied. And it worked. My family never saw it coming but I flew in yesterday to NYC after spending a beautiful week in Haiti. More on that in a future post. Sunday dinners areContinue reading “A Surprise”
