Just a small sampling of experiences
HI-SEAS MIssion V
For 8 months, I lived in isolation as an analog Mars astronaut to help researchers learn how to better support humans on other planets.
Travel
For years, I did all I could to get to parts of the world bigger than my tiny Rhode Island home state. What I found was life changing. Cliché, but true.
Outreach
An explorer is defined by their ability to bring back knowledge. This is why I share my experiences through blogs, podcasts, and this series from the NY Times:
