In Argentine Patagonia, I almost got hunted by a puma. It was dusk, and I was overlooking the lake when I heard rustling behind me in the tree line. I kept staring for a while before I saw it, and thank god I didn't make a run for it, as it would've been my initial reaction.
I was walking through a shady part of the old city in Cartagena, Colombia, and I was drunk around three in the morning. A massive man puts his hood on as I'm walking past him, and he starts following me for a block or two. Out of nowhere, this taxi toots its horn at me and signals to get in, pointing at the guy behind me and saying, 'Bad man.'
I had a layover in Moscow, flying from Seoul to Barcelona. As the captain thanked us, he looked at me and grinned, saying, 'Thanks for flying with us, Captain (my last name).' It seemed apparent they wanted me to know I was being watched.
