Travel philosophy
Live life--and see it--in full color.
Craziest place
Erromango (in Vanuatu)
Bizarre experience
arriving in Erromango on a grass strip to find there is in fact no airport, there were no other tourists, and that the entire village had come out of their tin/grass huts to greet the passengers--in other words, me.
Advice
Don't worry--just go!
