I devide my life up into four main stages. My early childhood spent growing up in the southern Californian desert. Which is ages 0-10
Then up to high school, in rural eastern Washington would be my second phase. Which started with us moving. So I devide that phase based on that big move, and my mother got remarried, so everything was pretty different than my life before.
Next phase would be adulthood, starting at 18 when I moved out. This was sort of an aimless stretch of time. I went to college but didn't really know what I wanted to do. I lived in Seattle for a couple of years, then moved bqck out to eastern Washington. I was very just not sure what I was doing, didn't have much of a social life, just sort of existing. That lasted until I was 27.
That's when everything changed for the better for me. I started rock climbing more and more and then gave up my apartment to go to Alaska and work a summer in the fishing industry. It was up there that I first experienced traveling in it's truest sense. I stayed at hostels and then bought the first tent I had ever owned and went on a hitchhiking trip for the first time. I hitched a thousand miles + with a guy named Beau that I had met there.
When I got back to the mainland, I decided I wanted to travel more, and I went on a road trip that has lasted from 2009 until now. I've been to every state but two (Hawaii and North Dakota) Mexico, Canada, all the central american countries minus Belize, all the South American countries on the west coast, Australia and this winter I biked the whole length of Spain. So this phase is definitely the best one.
