CURRENT MISSION

To successfully transition from hiking the PCT back into a somewhat functional part of society.

ABOUT ME

My mom would say something like "Bill is the happiest, most wonderful human being. He makes me so happy!"

My dad would say "Bill is a cool dude."

My co-workers would probably say "Bill is a hard working and responsible young man, yet also manages to not take work too seriously and has fun."

My ex-girlfriend would say some good things too.

If I was a color I'd be Yellow. If I was a car I'd be a Volkswagen. If I was an animal, I'd be a flying squirrel. If I was a type of alcohol I'd be tequila. If I was a tree I'd be a Willow. If I was an extra on The Simpsons I'd be Milhouse. If I was a playing card I'd be the Jack of Spades. If I was a food I'd be delicious.

Facts about me: I hitchhike, I eat spinach raw, I'm right handed, I don't take naps, I like cats AND dogs, I sing in the shower.....sometimes, I drink coffee everyday, I'm colorblind, I'm shy but at the same time outgoing, candles are cool, I run fast, I cook well but Chef Ramsay would not like it, there are only a few things in this world I "hate", I'm punctual, I enjoy beer and the occasional acid flashback.

When we meet these can be some talking points. Camino de Santiago, PCT, busking, hitchhiking, WOOFing, Ultimate Frisbee, creating music, Earth, existing, being human.

PHILOSOPHY

Go with the flow /// Do things you like ///Respect others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

EXIST IN THE UNIVERSE

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH: The ukulele
LEARN: Always down to learn
SHARE: What I got... Except my towel

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I have my ukulele I can play you songs. If I have my crayons I can draw you a picture. If you have a wine opener I can bring wine. Red wine, not white. I much prefer red wine.... But if you have white wine I definitely would drink it. I'm not a wine snob, in fact my knowledge on wine is very little. I'm sure there are great white wines, it's just with my experience with wine I like reds. However I'm very open to expanding my horizons and trying new white wines. But now I'm way off topic. Right, I also can offer a really good joke.
