A life without adventure is not a life worth living.
Over the last few years, I've come to fall in love with the ...sport? lifestyle?... that is bikepacking. There are few other ways in life to better learn about yourself and develop friendships. Although I've taken literally thousands of pictures during my travels, and made many fond memories, I had yet to make more than token effort at sharing these experiences for others to enjoy and learn from. Taking inspiration from a friend, however, I've decided to dust off my writing skills (ha, writing skills? In an engineer?) and document my adventures here.
