An Authority on Backpacking the World
As the tour guiding season in America quickly approaches, I believe a catch up is in order.

I LOVE kebabs. Therefore, I love Turkey.
There’s nothing better.

Hey guys!
It’s been 4 months since I’ve returned from my trip around the world and I’ve got itchy feet. Luckily, my world of rainy Portland, Oregon is about to change (Seriously, it’s rained something like the last 30 of 32 days). Frankly, I just can’t take it anymore.

So I’m getting all jacked up about starting my new job as a tour guide through North America next week. I’ll primarily lead tours of up to 13 foreigners on camping trips through many of the national parks in America.
With the whole camping theme in mind, I figured I’d share my experience of camping 32 [...]
