Meeting with UX Royalty and RVing in France

Back from an amazing time in France. What could be better than attending CHI and presenting to an auditorium filled with people you admire and look up to? Really the only answer is traveling around France in an RV for 10 days.

After a wonderful 5 days attending CHI 2013 in Paris and presenting my work on social commerce to people like:
