About Me
Born in Philadelphia, PA and quickly shipped off to Norwell, MA, USA; Educated in Rochester, NY, and landed in Burlington, VT.
Along the way to where I am, I've managed to pick up a degree in Electronic Engineering, a minor in (and fascination with) psychology, and a smattering of jobs ranging from Semiconductor Designer to Paintball Referee. I've learned to enjoy life, whatever the circumstance.
Current Plans
Working at Big Sky [1] December to April. Riding all day, working all evening, drinking and sleeping all night. It's a tough life, but someone's got to do it.
Experience
I started hitch-hiking March of 2008. There was a small boat-hitching experience the prior summer, but I was assisted by a bridge. Long story.
2008
Hitching around New England was relatively easy, especially in Vermont. The people are too friendly, and most people aren't in a hurry.
With a one-way ticket to Dublin, I began exploring Europe by way of the thumb (and signs...And poor german/french/romanian/italian/hungarian/russian/dutch). From Dublin to Scotland, I somehow got lost in the Balkans and ended up finding friends and comrades at 888. Cris-crossing France a few times, I was initially rejected by the British authorities (black mark. Sadly becoming more common), but eventually made my way to Scotland.
Hitching in Montana is pretty easy, but damn does it get cold out here!
Future Plans
Thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2009.
