Wrinkly Passport Ruins Costa Rica Trip

- He treated it as a typical misfortune and joked it fit his lifelong pattern of losing or damaging important items.
Never Learned To Drive
- Julio never learned to drive and quit after two lessons, saying cars feel "too big" for him.
- He avoids any vehicle operation, preferring to live in New York where driving isn't necessary.

- Julio describes extreme interest as binary: either deeply invested or completely apathetic.
- That polarity shaped his choices, from avoiding bikes to intense creative focus.
