Defqon.1, aka the Best Weekend of Our Lives, was almost 2 months ago. But it doesn’t mean that we’ve stopped reminiscing about the amazing things that happened at the festival! Sure, the music and DJs were mind-blowing, but my favorite part of the weekend was meeting my fellow attendees, seeing all the funny outfits, and laughing my ass off […]

My Worst Party Foul: Hitching a Ride on an Ambulance in Sao Paulo
The first and only time I’ve been on an ambulance was on a hot winter night (mid June in the southern hemisphere) in Sao Paulo, Brazil, at a big club called The Week. The Week is usually a gay club, but that particular night a big name Brazilian DJ was coming to play, and the […]
