CURRENT MISSION

Living young and wild and free.

ABOUT ME

I love to backpack, hike, camp and just generally be outdoors. I am a wanderer, writer, artist and I love to have a good time. I have been to more than 13 countries, and I am going to continue exploring this big wide world. I like to listen to my music really loud. I frequently nap in the sunshine or by the river. I love cold water and will get in any creek or stream at any time of year. I love to read, classics, smut, biographies - I love it all.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't look, just leap.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is the gateway to the soul.
Libraries are one of my favorite places in the world. That old book smell is amaze!
I'm not so cultured when it comes to movies. TV is a way for me to turn my brain off for a while.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can order a beer and find a toilet in pretty much any country

Teach, Learn, Share

In life, there are tourists and there are travelers. Tourists want their photo taken at every historic landmark and occasionally read a plaque or two about the place. Travelers completely immerse themselves in the history and culture. They sit down and have a beer with locals or join in on a new experience. Which do you want to be?
