CURRENT MISSION

Backpack, travel & Live Life one day at a time in the present moment!

ABOUT ME

I love living life! I want to travel more and learn about the places, people and animals that come into my life. The natural world around me blows my mind. I truly feel renewed and centered when I spend time exploring the spectacular wonders on this planet.

PHILOSOPHY

Now to simplify, back to the basics! Some ask themselves how much can I make and others ask, how much do I need! I want to reduce my impact on the earth beneath my feet and produce a smile on the face of the people around me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing places i have hiked include through the Grand Canyon numerous times, 2,178 miles on the Appalachian Trail in 2008, 170 miles around Lake Tahoe in 2010, and 500 miles south from Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2011. I have ridden over 100 miles on a bicycle in one day! I have watched the sunrise from the highest point in Arizona! A Grey Jay once took a piece of granola bar from my lips on a winter hike in New Hampshire's White Mountains! I think that it is pretty amazing to be alive and move freely about in our incredible world!
