What philosophy do you try to live by?
Anthony Bourdain’s advice: “If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.”
What children’s book do you cherish the most?
The Blackberry Mouse by Matthew Grimsdale. It is a sweet story about the value of friendship and sharing.
