Aric With An A.

And if they don't. They should all just live vicariously through Aric.
Awesome voice. A way with words and an eye for telling stories through his pictures.
Oh and he never stays in one place for very long. Ever.
So I met Aric two years ago on one of my visits back to Shanghai. He was in the process of creatively getting himself kicked out of China with a show on Current TV called Shanghai Diaries. We've been good friends ever since.
The past few years I feel like I've lived my life by walking in a vague direction of where my heart or gut has told me to go and I've learned to trust that i'll always end up where I need to be.
I thank and blame that in part to Aric's influence.
The below video is a few minutes of pure nostalgia for Leah and I but go ahead and feel free to watch along. I'm pretty sure he got kicked out of China the week after this. Buy him a beer and he'll tell you the story one day. :)
Update: Leah reminded me that this series won Aric the Most Prolific Vlogger award at Current in 2008.
