About Me

  • About Me: Inching past the quarter-life crisis period, I've been called weird, odd and other names meant for someone that doesn't necessarily fit into the mold of convenient labels. If you stick around, you'll probably agree.

Travel

  • Places I love: South Dakota (the Badlands and the Black Hills), Chicago, St. George Island, East Tennessee, Colorado, Wyoming and Yellowstone, Nicaragua, Mexico, Lambert's Cafe, the King of Pizza, the top of the Empire State Building on a cold autumn night.
  • Places I've been: Who cares. Where are we going?
  • Places to see before I die: China, Alaska and all the other places I've never been to that my friends call "home."
  • Dream Vacation: Unlimited financial backing, an atlas, a dependable vehicle and a set of keys.
