Damn...this actually kind of effected me. Bourdain is my idol, when people ask me what my goals are in life I literally say his name and that's it. Not only did he travel and eat, he opened me up to a world of places and cuisines I may not have known about. He really changed the way I travel in a positive way. Definitely an inspiration and he seemed to be a dope person with a good heart.
I gasped when I saw the headline but was at work so I couldn't read further, I was absolutely shocked to see he committed suicide. I have been feeling depressed a lot lately, so to hear that this man who I admired so much end his life when he was seemingly living a dream is kind of...rough. I know you can never know what someone is really feeling or what they have going on though so that was all a television facade. I knew he had addiction issues in the past, but I just would not have expected this.
RIP I will sincerely miss his contributions to the food and travel scene. You'll be missed
