FAQ

Where DO you live?

In Minneapolis. In my very own apartment where, for the first time in three years, I am not homeless.

How can you afford it?

I don't mind telling you that my adjusted gross income in 2011 was $4040. But, I used to have a very decent job at a mortgage company, and I have always been a pretty good saver. I spent a while living off of my savings and when that ran out I started picking up odd jobs. I have worked as a server, bartender and installer for radio transmitters on water meters. The trick is to live very frugally. I recently accepted a contract with my former employer and am now back working and saving again.

Aren't you afraid to travel all by yourself?

Not really. I'm never alone. Part of the reason I wanted to travel was because I had so many friends who were already doing it. I decided to just go and visit all of them. On my most recent trip, my cousin Ross traveled with me for two months and my best bud Summer of Hobo Siren met up with me for two months.

Where are your next big travel plans?

It's either Africa and hiking Kilamanjaro OR...I want to fly to Greece and then make my way up through very Eastern Europe like Romania and the Ukraine and then take the Trans-Siberian railway through Russia and Mongolia and into China. I'm also dying to take a solo road trip from Minnesota to Alaska. Never enough time!! (or money)
