I’ve been a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco, thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, walked the length of New Zealand on Te Araroa, spent four austral winters in Antarctica, cooked for a small crew on a remote Pacific atoll near the equator and even spent bits of a summer on the road as a carnie.
I’ve followed work to unusual places, collected stories along the way, and repeatedly found myself wondering: what next?
People often ask me where I’m headed next, or what places are on my bucket list.
My answer has always been the same: I want to go everywhere.
I want to see—
The Whole Wide World
Part travelogue. Part journal.
This is where I keep the stories: the places, the people, the work, the things I’ve learned, and— you best believe—some talk about my feels, too.
I’m leaving my Antarctica years behind and heading into something new: a Sprinter van, yoga school in Guatemala, hopefully another season at Palmyra Atoll, and whatever opportunities appear after that.
I don’t have the whole thing figured out. That’s rather the point.
Welcome to The Whole Wide World.
