Hello, world. My name is Jack Meyers. In the photo above I may or may not be sleepily melting into a vegetable boat framed by a Peruvian sunset on an ancient lake. The key word? World.
In 2013, I visited Israel for 10 days on a Jewish Birthright trip (free of charge). The food was phenomenal, and I learned a new kind of spiritual loving there. I also took a family trip to Toronto and Niagara Falls. Family trips are...well they're different.
In 2014, I embarked on what turned out to be the final stretch of childhood for me (p.s. I will always be a kid inside!): from February until July, I studied abroad in Valparaíso, Chile and I trekked around South America sharing, talking, and learning.
In 2015, I studied in Cuba with professors and peers of art history, international studies, and the sciences from The College of New Jersey. We spent two weeks sprawling across the picturesque island during what seemed to me an enjoyable international social environment at-best and politically complicated at-worst study tour of an intriguing island.
This blog is about the subtle learning experiences that inevitably occur when one turns themselves inside out and upside down. This is what happens when you cross borders--geographic, spiritual, cultural, and historical. Come along for the ride, why don't you. I welcome your companionship. If for nothing else, please relish in an abundance of sick (that's millennial for "exquisite") photos of food.
If there's anything I enjoy more than eating, it's talking about eating.
