Cabo Matapalo, CR in a lightening storm, The Masai Mara around a bonfire, in the streets of a Quechua village playing soccer with local kids on my birthday. Oh, and at my boy Al's wedding doing the electric slide!
Places I want to go to:
Alaska, New Zealand, Nepal, Indo and Brazil. Anywhere that will force me to step out of my comfort zone and grow some soul. Oh and I would love to return to a place in Peru with wild horses and even wilder spirituality. Venga Vamos!
About me:
I'm a youth worker in San Francisco, part-time adventure travel guide and co-founder of Matador. Work hard, play hard, learn every day, and try to make a difference. I am what I eat and I eat everything except yogurt. What does that mean?

hey, first want to thank you for the work you have done on this site-- it's a tool, not a destination, and it's great. muchissimas gracias.
second, i'm curious if you have a story about becoming an adventure guide and if you've already written it or would be willing to share. thanks again.

Most of the city is built on a mountain so it makes sense, but the amount of escalators really symbolizes the efficiency of infrastructure and lifestyle in the city. You definitely pay for this lifestyle, as the cost of living is...
I’m a bit behind on the blogs due to the fact that my time on the Internet has been consumed by other work. And I was taken out for a couple days with a jungle infection in my foot from jumping off a waterfall in northern Thailand. But Ross has gotten some good blogs out...
