Hello! I'm Shelby. If you're reading this I've probably inquired about staying and sharing your wonderful space that you so kindly welcome strangers into. So first off, thank you! I like you already. As of now, I am alive and with this great advantage I have to decided to travel around the world. So far I've been on a pretty rad road trip/wwoof'ing adventure around the west and just recently returned from a four month stint in Guatemala.

I love to hike, garden, cook, play guitar, travel, love, share, connect with our great mother and all her beautiful life forms, yada yada... ;-)

I am a photographer and have been documenting my journey and experiences since day one of being on the road. So if you want to check out my travels/my photographs/make sure I'm not a weirdo: www.shelbyhodge.tumblr.com
