About Me

I travel A LOT...but I'm also a huge nerd at heart. Check out my travel/art history blog at http://esoteric-traveler.blogspot.com/ ...goal of it is to profile interesting places not just for their beauty/grandeur etc., but for their interesting, mostly lesser-known histories. Let me know what you think! Comments and suggestions VERY much appreciated.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I have a fantastic social scene when I'm not being a loser and updating my blog- most of the people I really want to meet are dead...by a couple hundred years. Wouldn't mind a dinner party with Genghis Khan, Mariano Fortuny, the Arabian poet al-Hamdani, Margaret Bourke-White, Julian the Apostate, Benvenuto Cellini...I'm kind of a history dork if you couldn't tell. Unfortunately, I have to add my personal idol, the late great Isabella Blow to this list of the fabulous departed. Rest in Peace.

Because I keep changing my location here, I feel a little explaining is in order- I grew up between Venice, Paris, and New Orleans, so I speak Italian, French and English. However, I went to high scho...
