When my friend asked me “if you could only eat one cuisine for the rest of your life, what would it be?,” I’m pretty sure she didn’t mean to send me into an existential tailspin. Buuut she did, and this is my way of recovering. I give you the result of much late-night contemplation brought…
I know we all want to see the world – but in order for there to be a world to see, we have to keep thinking about our impact on the planet. While there are some things we simply can’t avoid, like carbon emissions from air and bus travel (though you can buy carbon offsets),…
