Shitty writing https://johnsonhs.medium.com/
Quit my tech job in Oct 2019, been on the road since. Some of my biggest priorities are bringing people together, working on myself, exploring/developing relational skills and presence, cultivating self organization, and fucking around and finding out. Interests include Microsolidarity, IFS, NVC, authentic relating, circling, hitchhiking, doing stupid shit, diving, beach volleyball, surfing, and as of recently, apparently tantra. I love making dope friends and want to invest in relationships that will last.

I quit my job in October 2019 (she quit a few months later) to travel the world, but didn't really get to do that due to COVID.
- Spent the first few months in Taiwan spending time with extended family
- Went to Egypt and Kenya for about a month early 2020, planning to spend most of the year in Africa
- Bailed to Taiwan as COVID travel restrictions came down everywhere, which was a huge blessing because Taiwan did a great job containing the virus - no lockdowns while we were there. Stayed in Taiwan almost a year, doing lots of cool stuff, until January 2021
- Returned to the US to do a coliving experiment with a bunch of friends. Got 12-15 friends to live together in houses 1 month at a time across the US. Spent a month in Colorado, Tennessee, New Hampshire, and Florida over 5 months.
- Bought a cheap ambulance van, ripped it out, and converted it - putting a bed, sink, table, bench, etc. into it, and drove across the US for a month or 2
Did 2 extended trips out of university- backpacked around Europe for 3 months with my girlfriend Jessica after graduating, and backpacked through Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia for 2 months after she graduated.
