Profile

Tom is the editor of MatadorLife. He's currently taking a lap of Earth, living in 12 countries over 12 months in 2009, all the while documenting this trek in a book to be called Wayward. He is also pretending to be a third person right now and is obviously writing his own bio. He knows that you knew that, despite the deft maneuvering of pronouns.
