CURRENT MISSION

to travel, cheaply because i am now broke. but i just got back from going all the way around the world on a big boat!

ABOUT ME

i love to travel the city by day and explore the nightlife by dark. i usually stay up late and get up early. i'm addicted to coffee. i've made three major road trips all over the united states, and i've been all over the world. once i finally get back to my city (seattle, wa) i will definitely be a home for the weary traveler.

PHILOSOPHY

i'm a simple guy i love life! good food, good beer, good people, and good places! what else do we need?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

gone around the world by boat, gone from china - almost spain by bus and train.
Seen an Orca breach from a kayak.
hiked abandoned sections of the great wall.
stayed (illegally) in a Tibetan village.
crossed Siberia by train.
Stayed with nomadic herders in mongolia.
I have seen many wonders in this world, but its much more fun to talk about than type.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a Kayak Guide in the summer time so I've got an extensive knowledge of the sea life and also kayak skills.
