ABOUT ME

Born in Jacksonville, Florida, raised in the suburbs by two veterinarians. I'm in the post college years just after the routine sets in. Fortunately, other opportunities for travel and adventure have arisen. I have begun studying more useful skills such as music, sailing, urban stealth camping, culinary delighting, and foraging.

PHILOSOPHY

If you're not growing, you're dying. Choose novelty over comfort. Be sure to take your vitamins. Think about the underlying reasons for shit. Breath.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Freed from a Spanish prison by the forces of anarchy.
Drove a machine through the City of Peace to throngs of cheering people.

Given achich and a phone call by a total stranger on a Ramadan at Place des Ternes in grey, rainy, gay, Paris.

Urban Stealth Camping
-Use the day to explore spots.
-Go out from dusk until late at night; parler, mingle, but stay sober
-Keep your meal area and your camp area separate lessens the odds of being confronted.
-"Sitting still in one place for long is how you attract attention. Once night has fallen, go to your campsite and quietly set up for the night. Get up at or before dawn, quietly strike camp, and slip away. I call this the rule of darkness. It is the core belief of the true stealth camper. Live it." tribe.net
-Be clean. Be sober. A dirty, buzzed, homeless person is a worthless bum. A clean, coherent homeless person is an adventurer that everyone loves...And HELPS. This is how you can skip the entire process of stealth camping and go couch surfing. All part of the adventuring game. If you're an asshole, this may not work so well for you. Stick to being stealthy.
-Camp where you wish. Leave no trace.
