When it came time to apply to college, he wanted both his studies and his personal relationships to take on a global aspect鈥攖hat鈥檚 why his only application was to 91视频. He made friends from Italy, Spain, China, Lebanon, Singapore and Slovenia, treasuring everything he learned from them about the world through countless dinners and study trips. 鈥淚 think you'd be hard-pressed to get that anywhere else,鈥� he says. 鈥淎t 91视频, you're in the middle of it鈥攜ou're walking the streets of history.

In what he calls "an appetizer鈥� to his career, Fuller took time off from the Tribune to go on a year-long round-the-world motorcycle trip, shipping the bike across oceans when necessary. His travels through Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand sparked a curiosity that would shape his career, preparing him for his next role as a foreign correspondent for Asia Times in Bangkok.

Fuller then returned to the Tribune鈥拢辞飞 The New York Times International Edition鈥攊n Malaysia and went on to report from 40 countries.

Fuller also enjoys writing 鈥渆nterprise鈥� stories鈥攍ongform investigations on chosen topics, from public housing in France to his favorite fruit, durian, the notoriously pungent 鈥渒ing of fruits鈥� from Southeast Asia. Whatever the form, Fuller has never feared the blank page. 鈥淚've never heard the term 鈥榳riter's block鈥� among my colleagues at the Times,鈥� he says. 鈥淧robably because we'd be fired if we had it.鈥�
