About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living the Dream

ABOUT ME

I'm a photographer that is currently hobo-ing around the world penniless,and sometimes volunteering my time to conservation, indigenous, and human rights issues. Always on the lookout for a project and interesting opportunities.

I like to consider myself fairly "lo fi" when it comes to traveling. I am not above sleeping in hay fields in Germany, ditches in France, and under bridges in America. I don't do "tours" or "trekking" and I prefer to take the slow train where you can dangle your feet over the edge rather then air con, hitching instead of tour bus, cargo boat rather then yacht....OK, actually yachts are pretty cool.
If i sleep in a "hotel", it's the one that costs maybe $3 a night so i can afford a beer or two on top of it.

I'm thinking of writing a zine on how to travel the world for a year or more for under $5,000.

Oh, and I like to hop freight trains.
