About me: 
I hate driving and am frightened of cars, but can trek through Cambodian jungles without a trace of nerves.



I love fishing and reading good books and small campfires. I aspire to a simple, self-reliant lifestyle, but am hopeless when it comes to complicated mechanical tasks like tying my shoes.



I have a wonderful family, and always seem to meet wonderful people, no matter where in the world I go.



Although I've been lucky enough to travel a great deal, I can honestly say that my favorite place on earth is my hometown of Craftsbury, Vermont. Someday, this is where I want to settle down.

Hey Tim,

I heard you've recently relocated and are settling down in Boulder, CO. I just moved here about two weeks ago and I'm trying to get acquainted with the area and take advantage of what it has to offer. Also, I would like to meet some fellow travelers who would be interested in talking, and maybe even traveling with me. Any suggestions? If so, please let me know.

Thanks a bunch!!!

Aha! Indonesia is part of the summer program! And a good chunk of it takes place in Sulawesi, which is perfect for me. Looks positively incredible. Thanks again for your help.

Three months ago I was on a night-bus to Tibet with 13 young men and women I barely knew. Now, I'm alone in Phnom Penh, soaking up the memories, wondering how those same 13 students are doing as they transition home to America.

A full semester of rugged travel down one of the most powerful and...

Captain Carrot has red hair and wears an orange cape.  Green stalks sprout from his bike helmet. 

Queen Aubergine's cape is purple, and Cassiopea's cape is made of prayer flags. 

These superheroes are riding their bikes around Vermont, doing good deeds.  Yesterday they helped a...

Who knew Chicago was such a great beach town?   There's mile after mile of sand on the shore of Lake Michigan, right next to downtown, packed with young people playing corn-hole and soaking up the sun. 

I love how the neighborhoods on the North Side are laid out, with residential streets...
