I'm a freelance writer and editor living in Los Angeles, CA. My book, Total Sao Paulo: A Guide to the Unexpected (released in 2009 and received acclaim from major publications such as Budget Travel and Vogue Portugal for its new take on the usual travel guidebook), and its accompanying site keeps me busy.

My likes include indie rock and QOOB TV, chocolate, travel and shoes that fit. I'm currently trying to acclimate back to dry, cold weather after living in Sao Paulo for two years.

I'm always on the lookout to become involved in projects that provoke and educate, so email me if you've got a good idea.

Current weather: 67 degrees F. 31% humidity. Clear.
