About Me

I enjoy people, places and their history which is why I am planning on travelling for so long. I LOVE the outdoors, but unlike many people I like the city just as much.

Right now I am seven years into an indefinate global traverse.

One of my core values, is that all of my beliefs need to be challenged. That way things can only improve

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, you know the people that say they "like eveything?" I am not one of those people. But my taste is pretty eclectic and open; I like almost the whole spectrum of rock, soul, bluegrass, jazz, ambient, metal, and some punk and hip-hop

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked across Canada, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

Jumped off of a bridge

Commuted to work in the mountains by helicopter

Played cat and mouse with a bear

Hiked 1500km across France over three months

Planted 700, 000 trees and counting

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share a lot of tips about traveling solo, especially on the cheap. I also have a fair bit of experience in the outdoors and never get board talking techniques and gear. Years back I ran a house painting business, so I would be happy to help with some things around the house as well.
