In this photo, I was…In Portugal on my honeymoon. My wife took this picture on the first day, in Porto. You can't really tell, but the building to the left of me has a tile façade—a common feature of Portuguese architecture. We hope to have a tile façade someday too.I won't leave home without…My tespih (Turkish worry beads)
My favorite cup of coffee is…The one I brew at home and drink in my backyard
My best road trip was…A two-month cross-country trek with two college friends
