Thankfully, I have a background as an actor, and you learn how to live in that world of not knowing what's going to happen next.
I love my friends and family, but I also love it when they can't find me and I can spend all day reading or walking all alone, in silence, eight thousand miles away from everyone. All alone and unreachable in a foreign country is one my most favorite possible things to be.
It is almost always the cover-up rather than the event that causes trouble.
