Got interested with nature at a young age thanks to my own intentions and a few good childhood friends. I ended up moving out to Rapid City, SD, USA where I spent most of my time in the ponderosa pine forests of the Black Hills and the semi-arid mixed grass prairies of the Badlands. I met life long friends there that craved adventure and have enjoyed many trips with them. I am openminded, humble, with that good old Midwest mentality and that Minnesota nice.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Week long backpacking trip through Glacier National Park, MT, USA. It was a week long berry picking bonanza and a few treacherous passes.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I've had a decent Big Foot encounter that's always fun to tell (an American Ape man/spirit of the forest, for those who aren't familiar). I've taken wilderness first responder through NOLS, so if you have any questions on backcountry medicine I might be able to help. I would love to answer your questions about the American West!

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

My hospitality, what little knowledge I cling too, and hopefully an adventure!
