Author, traveling journalist, outdoor adventurer, philosopher, poet and nature enthusiast. I'm a minimalist with a message. Not so long ago, I quit my job, gave everything away and rode a bicycle along the Mississippi River from Minneapolis to New Orleans, camping and writing a book about the journey. Magic has been happening ever since. Follow The Fox Trails down the path of the heart and see yourself and the country with new eyes. This is not the travel blog of a married man with kids. This is Kerouac and Twain sprinkled with Seinfeld and smothered with a well seasoned Siddhartha.
