I've traveled by road across the majority of the United States and back, and finally decided to take the leap to new continents. I embarked on my first backpacking trip 5/23/15 through Europe, Australia, China, and Thailand and I just finished 8/13/16. I've hiked the Grand Canyon, jumped out of airplanes, been white water rafting, seen Mount Rushmore, gambled in Las Vegas, gone Lobstering in the Florida Keys, recorded and toured as a drummer with a rock band, traveled with a Collegiate American Football team for a season and a half as an Athletic Trainer... I live life to the fullest and am excited to learn and gain insight through other people and places I visit. Here is my facebook page if you'd like to look me up and get a feel for who I am. https://www.facebook.com/tj.gilbert.395

Teach, Learn, Share

If there's anything I can share through my experiences or traits I'd be more than happy to provide some positive information.... If I can lend a helping hand, I'm in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have extensive knowledge about the United States and the outdoors. I also have a college degree in Athletic Training and know quite a bit about the human body and working out/exercise plans/nutrition. I've been an athlete my entire life. Music and art is also a passion of mine. I've played drums for 13 years and have recorded with a couple of different rock alternative bands. My last job was as a Casino Host in Lake Tahoe, Nevada and I found that entertaining and partying with "High Rollers" every night isn't such a bad way to earn a living. Friends consider me a pretty good person to ask advice... I'm always willing to listen or to share some fresh perspective on a subject.
