One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked 3 months (900 miles total trail) on the Appalachian trail in 05' starting in Georgia getting off in Waynesboro, VA. I then hitch-hiked for 3 months to the west coast and back. Exploring, camping, and volunteering along the way.

I spent 2 weeks in Ecuador january 2011. 1 week with a tribe in the Amazon. The other week we toured a large portion of the country by bus and stopped in many cities.
