“I just graduated from university a year ago and am working as an architect. I also play the trombone but brought a euphonium to play here. Right now I’m just trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. Next on my agenda — traveling the world.”

“A stranger walked into our camp the other night. I ended up having a fantastic conversation with him that turned into one of the wildest nights ever. That’s one of the best things here — normally people have their guards up, but at Burning Man those walls tend to be down, which lends everyone to be more fun and open. I’ve never met so many people from so many different walks of life.”
