It’s not every day that a friend makes the cover of @TIME! Seeing this @OBEYGIANT illustration of our pal Marin gave my spirits a much-needed lift as we count down to USA Election Day. Big props to TIME, Shepard Fairey, @subliminal_art, and everyone who raises the call to #vote

Can travel cultivate empathy? @AFARmedia's new issue explores this question with real depth and thoughtfulness. As part of a package on indigenous tourism (edited by the wonderful @ashleahalpern), I talked with Ed DesRosier of @GlacierSunTours... (1/2)
