Pretty interesting article about what Paki is doing currently:
The Nomadic Life
By Shelbi Thomas
Most know Paki O'Meara (10BA) as the Hawkeye football walk-on from Cedar Rapids whose perseverance landed him a scholarship as a special teams standout and running back. But the local letter winner has a worldlier side. Encouraged by his Samoan mother and anthropology professor father, O'Meara has always held a natural curiosity for the world, which he explored at the UI as an anthropology major. It was only fitting, then, that less than six months after his December 2010 graduation, O'Meara began life on the road. The Hawkeye globetrotter recently shared his travel reflections and stunning photography with Iowa Alumni Magazine via email from Australia's remote Margaret River region, where he's earning money as a chef after exploring Cambodia, Japan, and Taiwan.
