I'm a freelance journalist based in San Francisco, a current politics contributor for Fortune, and the Hawaii contributing editor for Travel Weekly. My journalism career started in Guadalajara, Mexico, where I survived a bus accident caused by an under-caffeinated conductor and a near drowning provoked by my own stupidity. Since then, I've reported on failing schools in Mississippi, political assassinations in Colombia and the future of the Great Barrier Reef. I've also published work in The Guardian US, U.S. News and World Report, San Francisco Chronicle, The Atlantic's CityLab, Noisey by Vice, San Francisco Magazine, Pacific Standard, and Lucky Peach among other publications.
