ABOUT ME
Got the travelin' bug from my parents - I grew up sailing and found myself driving across the country when I got old enough. I write, play guitar and sing in a rock and roll band, I work on organic farms, love real food, and plan to growing my own when I get the land and time. I read a lot, and love trading books with people, and sharing with other creative people.
PHILOSOPHY
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." - Dad

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
At age 3, my family sailed to and lived aboard our sailboat in Mexico's Sea of Cortez for most of a year. Being exposed to a different culture before I had any notion of my own culture set me up for a life of travel.
