This hub documents a hands on life of explorations through writing, storytelling and long distance adventures. I rode a unicycle across the United States when I was 19, and then found my love for canoeing. I am now living aboard my 1965 Pearson Invicta 38 sailing vessel as a young grasshopper with much to learn. The journeys have led me to several true callings, in which I make my own clothes, write, and share these escapades as a public speaker. Pull up a seat, and lets share a tale by the fire.
