John's Story

Hello, Internet traveler! From one traveler to another, I applaud you for finding this rare memorial. This site is a memorial of my discovery of things that have already been discovered. It sounds very Christopher Columbus I know. But I want to go to places — not to stand in a location in which I will probably never return to, but to learn about how human conditions and suffering that is inherent within all of us connect and divide us. It is often said that “life imitates art.” My favorite art is opera, which usually ends with a funeral or a wedding. This essence of life is what I expect to experience. Not just learn the narratives of the successful and selective few, but also the narrative of those who have yet to be unearthed by a traveler before.
