about me...

Confession time. Truth is, I have a very severe, chronic case of the travel bug. It seems to flare up at it's worst every time I try to work in an office. I have decided to try to cure this affliction by taking an extended travelling/biking/hiking adventure-trip all over world. Only time will tell if the treatment will work.

Prior to this trip I had been working for 11 months as an engineer at a pharmaceutical company. It was a contract position which was due to expire after one year but lucky for me it ended a month early. Before that I spent five months thru-hiking the entire 2,167-mile Appalachian Trail. I guess you could say I like a good challenge.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me in my decision to abandon the conventional American Dream and to seek out my own path to happiness. I still have no idea what I want to do when I grow up but I intend to have a really good time while I figure it out...

Gotta give special props to Momo, my best friend, confidant, and designer of this site. (He charges a reasonably good rate if anyone is interested, but payment must be made in the form of kitty treats and dry food.)

I'm not fat, there's just more of me to love
