About

I'm an expat Californian who is obsessed with traveling to strange and exotic destinations in the former Communist Bloc. I also like tacos, beer, surfing, trapshooting, and the geopolitics of oil. I currently live in Arlington, Virginia and work in Washington, DC. Read more about me here, check out my photo album, or send me an e-mail.

    Off to Costa Rica


    Tomorrow morning I’m heading to Costa Rica and will be there for a week. I’m meeting my friend Rian (from GWU) down there. Yes, this will be a normal vacation with a beach, surfing, etc. There will be no landmines, tours of nuclear disaster sites, or heavily armed police escorts. Admittedly, this feels kinda strange.

      Hi there Lindsay.
      I am using one of your photographs of Morocco as a temporary icon for a new group on facebook called ‘green Morocco’, trying to rise environmental awareness in Morocco.
      I hope you re ok with this, otherwise just let me know and I will remove your photograph.
      I tried to send you an email directly from ur website, but it s not working (the link to your email don t lead nowhere).
      Please join us on green Morocco, as you ve already visited this country; share your point of view.
      Looking forward to see you amongst us,
      Maria Guessous
