About me:
Two weeks after being handed my degree in Graphic Design from UC Davis I started leading trips for an adventure travel company called "Backroads." For the last 6 years my spring, summer, and fall months (working months) have looked like this: Cycle through the California wine country, hike the verdant hills of Irealnd, kayak through lobster buoys in Maine, and swim with turtles in Hawaii. Then, when the winter months hit I'd strap on a backpack and travel on my own: Jumping naked into the water in Antarctica, doing photography in Cuba, attempting to learn Spanish in Guatemala. Adventure was a way of life...until I realized that I might be writing a few too many postcards and not maintaining real relationships. There was also the issue of a future. Since I've always been atttracted to volunteer projects that involve medicine, I set my sights on beocming medically trained. I became an EMT through NOLS (awesome course!) and got a job in SF as a Surgical Technician in prepairation for Nurse Practicioner school, my ultimate goal. So now I work in a hospital and sit in lectures. I'll admit that it feels like a step down. The adventures have been put on temporary hold, but once I'm a medical professional I'm hoping to take the skills abroad and open an entirely new, and purposeful, chapter of travel.

Dear Nico,
I have been investigating the opportunities at McMurdo and am curious if you would be willing to give me some of your thoughts or possibly direct me to another resource.
By the way, I have also settled down recently, for a hot minute, to start doing some medical training. There's no shame in putting down roots & besides, settling down is an adventure in and of itself.
best of luck and thank you so!

Dude... How do you get there? I am really interested in knowing how do really get to Antarctica. I know of a marathon. But, are there anyway to see it while doing something else?
Very informative piece on Antartica and landing a job. Sounds tempting and am thinking about it. We are in opposite boats: After graduating from university, I immediately entered the work force to focus on developing my career in the corporate world. 4 years later I am leaving everything behind to travel the world... to explore other cultures, focus on my passions, and flee as far as possible from my habitual influences. Good luck in your studies and hope it leads back to your travels.
