La libertad, Sancho, es uno de los más preciados dones que a los hombres dieron el cielo; con ella no pueden igualarse los tesoros que encierra la tierra ni el mar encubre; por la libertad, así como por la honra, se puede y debe aventurar la vida.

Don Quijote de la Mancha, Capítulo LVIII.

Update, 2024: Boy have I got more about Quixote for you. (This is still my favorite quote from the book.)

How did I end up in Spain? Why am I still here almost 20 years later? Excellent questions. With no good answer... Anyway, at some point I became a blogger, bestselling author and contributor to Lonely Planet. So there's that. Drop me a line, I'm happy to hear from you.
