Travel philosophy

Bizarre experience

Spending my juinor year of Highschool (age 17) in Caracas, Venezuela. During a trip with my host family, we went to a family ranch near El Tigre. They wanted meat for their soup, so everyone went over to the pen full of goats, grabbed one, strung it up to a tree, and butchard it. Wa la, fresh meat! That was interesting.

Advice

Travel smart but step out side your boundaries sometimes for it may provide you with some very interesting sights and activies not often experienced by other travellers.

Dream destination

Antarctica.

Traveled before

Canadian Arctic, Lincoln National Forest, New Mexico, USA, and Puerto Rico for wildlife related field work. Turkey, Greece, Italy, New Engand, Jamaica, Turks and Caicos, Bermuda, the eastern Caribbean, and the Intercoastal waterway all on various sailboats. Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, France, Mexico, Venezuela, and driven across the USA 6 times.

Going next

I am heading up to Maine, USA for the summer 2007 and then I have no idea where the boat will take me next.
