I am a middle aged guy looking to broaden his travel horizons on a minimal budget. I am a automotive master technican with almost 40 years of experience working on cars. I have retained the fitness of a young man throughout my life and can still run a 7 minute mile and bench press and deadlift my bodyweight. I have also taught myself some diverse skills on this journey suck as, unicycle riding, piano playing, guitar playing, ukelele playing, piano rebuilding and tuning, juggling, welding, and all around fabrication.I am also a former high level bicycle time trialer who still can ride a bit.
