About the author
When I was a kid in New York, people made fun of me for talking so much with my hands. But the world was just too big and interesting not to try to grab onto it with every word. So instead of talking less, I decided to go more, and farther. I studied politics and philosophy, but it was who I met along the way that taught me how to live. Now I get to tell their stories and (I hope) do them justice, so that other people might also want to find out more for themselves.
