More about me
When I'm not working I enjoy exploring and fishing. When I was younger I had many adventures including being the first brother/sister team to thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail. I spent time in my twenties working as a backcountry sea kayak guide in the Misty Fjords in Alaska. I currently live on a farm where we raise dairy sheep and pastured pigs.
In 2017 we spent 6 months exploring New Zealand, we kept a blog of our travels, one of many adventures is here: JAF BLOG

I've traveled all over the US and Europe by bicycle and for many years I've been a host on Warmshowers, a website that connects people touring by bicycle with hosts.
