Food in the north of Mexico has less ingredients. South is lush and green, with more fruits and vegetables. North is a desert, with more cows and meat. Oaxaca food is the best.
Before going to India, he trained his spice tolerance, adding more and more spice.
Worked three months in a cement plant in Nigeria, but wasn't allowed to mingle, so didn't make friends. Spent two years in Toronto but didn't like it.

He wants to go from the equatorian Amazon to the Peruvian Amazon through the river. You go on a boat and you sleep on a hammock on the boat and they feed you. It's a 3-4 day trip.
He works in sanitation now because he wants to do things that actually help people (unlike crypto) so like dry toilets and composting. But also carpentry. I recommended reading Art Of Profitability book.
