I knew my motivations for going to each place and what I was looking for. If I don't do that then I generally don't write about my travels.

Most of what I do is for creative people - writers and painters and photographers - trying to work through creative problems.

Talk to people who know more than you. I feel like we're in this stupid sea of opinion, like "My opinion is valid because it's mine and I have it."

Go to a place and just send out emails. That's my entire life. I go to countries and I ask, "Who would I know who lives here?" Not even do I know, but who exists and is on the planet.

I don't tell clients what to do. I don't even really tell them what the future is.

I have a really good life and I really like it.

Just send the emails and talk to people. Spend all your money on nail polish and opera tickets.
