CURRENT MISSION
I want to make the world a better place, have an adventure, simplify my life, and get closer to nature through travels and experiences. On July 28, 2024 I began walking south from the Canadian Border in Blaine, Washington and finished 700 miles ish later in Crescent City, CA on October 10, 2024. I am currently making my way to Point Reyes Station by buses, walking and hitch hiking so I can still move slow and enjoy the coast, as well as any side quests that may pop up.

ABOUT ME
Hi! My name is Brent! I left my job in finance and hometown of Birmingham, MI in 2012 because I wanted to experience the world while I was young and stop letting life pass me by. I have been working different jobs and traveling ever since. I have enjoyed having my life fit in a backpack and the freedom it provides.
