Hello Folks. My name is Travis but you can call me Sir. I am 26 years old. I have survived birth, puberty, high school, and college. I’ve hiked mountains, crossed deserts, and swam the Pacific. My body is strong. Marathons do not intimidate me. I am funny too. (no joke).
I have loved with all my heart and paid the price. The road to page 26 has been arduous, to say the least - riddled with pot holes & speed bumps, hitch hikers, highway patrol and road kill. I drove it. I walked it. I swam, flew, climbed, and crawled my way to today.
Where did I arrive you ask? Humboldt County, CA. The land of redwoods and marijuana. Hipsters and hillbillies. Pristine rivers and rugged shores.
I’d guess a third of my life has passed. Nevertheless, I’m still captain. My compass is still trustworthy and true. I do not doubt it. I have followed it through San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Colorado, Central America, the Pacific Crest Trail and Arcata. I am 26 years old. My dreams have changed. I now dream of being a father. Waking up in a home I own and cooking breakfast for the wife I adore. My compass has changed direction. It is trying to send me home.
