About Me

Why do I travel? I have been stricken with an innate need to experience the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells of other places. This need has taken firm hold and has shaped my life in ways unimaginable. Some of the happiest and most fulfilling moments of my life have been spent hiking in Peru, traipsing through muddy terra firme forest in mosquito garb and rubber boots, talking to different human beings about their families and dreams, or experiencing the electric colors of the great barrier reef. Time spent exploring the inner workings of living, eating, and dreaming in another culture changes my perspective on my own life, and leads to a sense of connectedness with the human condition that I do not find in any other way. Looking out over ragged cliffs or floating along in the ocean reminds me that I am but a speck, in constant flux, which is somehow comforting. Each time I experience new, somehow I am changed.

And so it was...

I married my best friend at 2:00 in a meadow near Bailey, CO. We were so different then, so young and unaware of the direction our lives would take. We had grand dreams of Law Schools and Doctorate degrees, late night coffee and cigarettes, leading very steady lives. Our wedding itself was a blur, something we reflect on as being for others, which is okay when it has become so abundantly clear that the rest of our lives are for us exclusively. Most people say that their wedding day was the best day of their lives; for us, it was just a beginning...a very pretty, fancy beginning.
