I’m Greg Rodgers, the creator and editor of this site. That’s me in an Indonesian fishing boat, somewhere in East Flores on the way to Papua, after having almost died at sea in a storm.
Email is always the preferred method of contact here. You should get an answer within 48 hours if I’m not lost somewhere in the jungle or Himalayas — which is sometimes the case. If you haven’t heard back from me in one week, contact the authorities!
(or assume that I don’t want whatever it is you’re selling)
