Hi! I would just like to say that I appreciate all of you and this community. I think it's awesome this exists. I am originally from Pennsylvania, but at this point I bounce around more often than not. Myself and my lovely girlfriend, Anne, live and travel full time in a self converted van here in the US. We are flying to Australia for 2 months (Jan '20- March '20) and have high hopes to climb, surf, hike, and just generally explore and experience such a beautiful country for ourselves! I love the outdoor community, participating in any outdoor recreation I can afford and/ or get my hands on. Focused on climbing currently. I work for the National Park Service doing trail maintenance work in Washington. I am always looking for new friends and adventurous people are my favorite. Unfortunately due to the fact we live in a van, hosting is not an option for us right now ):
