About Me

I have always been something of a wanderer, but since 2022 I have upped the ante a bit and given up having a permanent home and spend most of my time traveling and shooting. When I need a rest, I have been retreating to Ecuador, but am now considering shifting my attention away from South America and more toward Africa and southern Europe.

I am mostly a Canon shooter, but I have dabbled a bit with Lumix. When you have as much Canon glass as I do, it is hard to move away from the brand.

For those of you who always seem to want more personal info, I am 60-something, retired from a combination nursing and healthcare IT career that included web design and some time as a database administrator. Not a common combination. In 2022 I quit working, hiked the PCT, and left the US. There is a good chance I will not return.

I do most of my traveling alone, not because I want to, but because, despite most people saying they love to travel, very few do. Taking a 2-week vacation once a year is not traveling. That is a vacation. Vacations are a time when you spend all your money, and then return home exhausted. Travelers have found a more sustainable way of life.

That is my story, and I am sticking to it. Safe travels, all.
