Waubonsee Can Take You Places

I’ve always had a bit of wanderlust, but at some point – I don’t remember exactly when – I decided that I needed to travel more. Off I went to Mexico, Alaska, Canada, London, Greece, France, Switzerland. I hiked the entire Oregon coast with just a backpack, and spent three weeks photographing ghost towns in New Mexico and sleeping on the ground - wherever a comfortable spot could be found. I backpacked in the Rockies, Tetons and Cascades and visited almost every National Park. I’ve been to every state but two and every Canadian province.
