so, this would be, i suppose, my first 'real' post to this blog, which will largely be used to update/inform my whereabouts, travels, adventures, and day-to-day life while conducting my field research in altamira, pará, brazil.
in the meantime, i am a nomad in the u.s. homeless, yet with a home.

taken in blue island, IL, the city where i was born.
