CURRENT MISSION

Climb a bunch of stuff, swim in a bunch of places, eat a bunch of things

ABOUT ME

I am an adventurous world traveler who loves good food, a good hike, and good company. I have over a dozen countries under my belt, and I'm a big proponent of budget traveling... I've stayed everywhere from a floor in a New Zealand boat shed to a windowless Walgreens in the Lower Ninth Ward. I try to keep a good attitude regardless of the circumstances- after all, a tough day is just a good story later! :)

PHILOSOPHY

"One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast....a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it’s still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards." -Edward Abbey
