I feel most at ease in the mountains. My passion for (or perhaps addiction to) long-distance, self propelled travel, over routes less traveled has become the guiding influence in my life. Whether by foot, wheel, or paddle, if it involves exploring landscapes and sleeping in a tent for a few days, great! A few months? Now we're talking!

Most of my wanderings have been by foot on the long trails in the US, plus one unusual trip by wheel. Two, of many, bucket list items are to hike across Iceland and to paddle the Northern Forest Canoe Trail with a homemade canoe. More recently, I've taken to fastpacking and trail-running. It'd be great to find someone with similar callings. Someone to both share these experiences with, and a partner with whom to mutually encourage individual and shared pursuits, on trail and off.
