I live-blogged the Women’s World Cup for the Wall Street Journal. Fun fact: you dont get paid more for live-blogging when the game goes into extra time.
Manhattan Chocolate Walk
Along with Alistair, Carl and several other folks, Iwalked roughly 13 miles visiting 15 chocolate shops and rating them on a one-to-five finger scale along the way. The fact that the stores got progressively lower scores as we walked is probably more a testament to the fact that I shouldn’t be eating 15 servings of chocolate than the actual quality of said eateries.
24 hour, 100 km Walk
Definitely one of the harder things I’ve ever been a part of. We left Park Slope at 8 pm on Friday and ended up in McCarren Park 24 hours later. We fought through blinding 3am rain in lower manhattan (see photo below), counting kilometers all the while.
Lower Haight to Mt. Tamalpais Walk
After hosting a party the night before at our house in the Lower Haight, Sara and I set off around 6 am with Carl, Cynthia, Nate, and Brannan for a 25-mile walk to the top of Mt. Tam. Highlights included the Presidio, Muir Woods, and of course finishing. Lowlights included feeling hungover for the first 5 hours of the walk.
Manhattan Pub Crawl
Starting at noon, Carl and I walked roughly 18 miles, stopping every mile or so for a beer. What’s that? You want a detailed breakdown of everywhere we went, how long spent at each place, and what we consumed along the way? Ok, weirdo. Here you go.
Go Hiking in Other Countries
on top of Mt Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (before everything melted). Here’s the PDF of an article about my trip in the New York Times Magazine.
on top of Mt. Stanley, Uganda, DRC. Here’s the PDF of an article about my trip in Uganda’s New Vision newspaper.
With Rich Wright on the top of Volcán Concepción, Nicaragua.
Teach Zambian Poachers how to Farm
I spent a year in Zambia working with the Wildlife Conservation Society near South Luangwa National Park. One of our projects involved teaching former poachers how to be better farmers so they didn’t have to risk their lives to feed their families.
Here’s an article I wrote about my work for Wildlife Conservation magazine:
Here’s an article I wrote for Legal Affairs about how poachers were created by post-colonial policies.
Study Monkeys and Chimpanzees
I studied macaques in Puerto Rico, capuchins in Nicaragua, and chimpanzees in Uganda. Here’s the Journal of Virology article I co-wrote with my BFF Jane Goodall.
