Crafting Bubbles With CHANDON Winemaker Pauline Lhote In California

Hi, I am Daniel and I am a travel addict

I’m addicted to traveling. I mean, also, drugs, sex and alcohol, yes sure (well, in the past say). But I went to everything from boarding school, to dozens of AA and SCA meetings, to a mini rehab, to a few ashrams, to endless therapists (some who I slept with, so that didn’t help), to the finest spas across the planet, to just fucking cold turkey to deal with all of those. Travel, well that’s different, it’s heroin for your bullshit, it's a gang bang for your bigotry. I see your judgment, and that’s just fine.
