CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life...

ABOUT ME

I am your typical friendly, outgoing person who wants to see the world. As of Oct. 5th, my vehicle will be my permanent residence. I'll be boondocking for the winter mainly in national forests! AShelterFromTheNorm dot com!

I truly would like to meet you(yes, you reading this!!), so drop me a line and let's get coffee or play some disc golf or go for a hike.

PHILOSOPHY

"We are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known." ~Carson McCullers

"Iowa, not a great place to take a vacation, but a great place to call home" - my dad(maybe from someone else before that though)
