Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I've had a job where I got to rappel out of a helicopter to fight wildfires in the mountains of the western US. Currently a helicopter manager.
Spent 5 weeks backpacking Thailand in '05. Can't wait to do more travelling. I've also been to some of the most remote places in the US.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Forest ecology, wildfire effects, meteorology, more nerdy stuff.

I own six bikes, so if you are in need of a bike tuning, hit me up.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I have a great couch. And the carpet and rug is perfect for sleeping pads.
