CURRENT MISSION

I run a travel website called Squat the Planet, a place for travelers of the underground to network and meet other like-minded people!

ABOUT ME

I'm just plain obsessed with adventure in any form. If it's exciting, dangerous, or just plain crazy, I'll probably do it. A big part of my adventures lie in trying to see as much of the world as I can before I die. I'm currently working on putting together my own travel blog, and I would like to perhaps have a career in travel journalism.

I've spent the past 10 years of my life being a nomad, hitchhiking and train hopping around the United States (and small portions of the world) and just generally being a free spirit. I'm in love with the traveler underground, and I really don't know if I'll ever be able to settle down and live a "normal" life. Normal has always sounded kinda boring to me anyways :)

I'm headed to Key West, Florida to find a sail boat and spend a few months learning the ropes of that before going out to the Bahamas and beyond.

I now have a travel blog called Squat the Planet (http://squattheplanet.com/) where I hope to document my travels around the world. You should check it out and read about my epic journeys, check out the awesome community on the message board, and tell me what you think!

I also bike a lot, and I'm hoping to do some long distance bike tours in the near future.
