Adam O'Neill
A survivor of the untamed bushland of rural Australia, Adam escaped for the safety of Sydney the day after he graduated high school—a date that happened to coincide with his eighteenth birthday. As so many young people do though, he fell in with a rough crowd. A sword wielding, armor wearing, pipe smoking gang of medieval-battle reenactors. Soon after he met his wife, Chana, he lost the armor but kept the pipe.
Shortly thereafter, Adam combined his love of the pipe with a new found passion, photography, which is how we found him and dragged him, kicking and screaming through customs, to South Carolina. We're glad we did, too: Adam began his career with us as a copywriter before making the transition to photography, and not long after that he combined the two roles to become our full-time Social Media Specialist.

To my mind certain alcoholic beverages have links to certain countries. When I think of Scotland, for example, I think of Scotch whisky, with France I think of wine, Italy and grappa (but also wine), Belgium and beer, etc. Even when I think of my native Australia the first drinks to come to mind are beer and wine, and at a stretch a certain brand of rum.

As someone who's now lived in three separate countries, it might come as somewhat of a surprise that I don't consider myself particularly "well travelled". I can still count on my fingers and toes the amount of times I've flown, and if you consider a round trip as a singular flight, then I can probably just use the toes and leave my hands free for a pipe.

Como alguien que ya ha vivido en tres países separados, podría resultar un tanto sorprendente que no me considere una persona que haya viajado mucho en particular. Todavía puedo contar con los dedos de mis manos y pies la cantidad de veces que he volado, y si consideras un viaje de ida y vuelta como un solo vuelo, entonces es muy probable que pueda usar solo los dedos de los pies y dejar mis manos libres para sostener una pipa.
