What inspires your adventures?
Curiosity — that’s what’s always inspired me. I truly just have a strong desire to see the differences and similarities in how people live everywhere in the world. Even at home in the United States. I put a lot of trust in strangers, and I believe you can travel solo anywhere.
Who was the most interesting person you met?
Zaki, my guide in Algeria. It was towards the end of my journey, and at the time there were a lot of antigovernment protests going on there. We were supposed to be touring, but we ended up sitting in a cafe, talking. I’ll never forget what he said: “I’m just living for the sake of living. You can’t have wild ambition around here, especially if you’re the oldest child.” It really struck me. Simply because of where he’d been born, his opportunities were limited to the point where he didn’t even want to think about success.
