About Me

I just graduated from NC State with a degree in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management. When people asked me what I was going to do when I graduated, I said "My goal is to go 12 months without paying rent." This trip will account for at least 8 of those months. I will end up getting a masters from State but or now I am going to HAVE FUN!

And it begins....

It has been a lot of work and a little planning (hopefully not too much) but it is almost time to leave. I have hung out w/ many of you one last time before I trek the globe. Tomorrow I am going out to a family dinner, then drinking w/ some friends; then Nate, Cameron and I are flying to LA to stay w/ Patrick for a few days before we leave for FIJI!

My pack weighs 45 lbs and contains 2 pair of pants, 4 pair of shorts, 7 shirts, 4 pair of socks, 7 boxers, some long johns, a fleece, and a rain coat. Also in the most important backpack I'll ever wear is some camping gear, a water purifier, first aid kit, some bathroom stuff, and few bottles of meds. I'll be carrying a tent, sleeping pad, and a sleeping bag as well. Oh yea, I'll be wearing one pair of shoes and carrying a pair of sandals.

We still haven't made one single reservation at any hostels or hotels yet. We are, however, planning on chilling in FIJI w/ our friend Dillon in her grass hut on the beach. Also, Cam has set up some work for us on a vineyard in New Zealand in exchange for a free place to stay and hopefully some good (free) food. Other than that we are roaming the earth with nothing more to do than have fun and stay out of harms way.

I have my cell phone for one more day 919 920 6751 and will be drinking in Raleigh Monday night so if you wanna come party w/ us give me a call. Also, while I'm gone you an leave me a free voicemail that I can listen to in my email:

Until next time...be happy and don't do anything I wouldn't do!!
