🔥 Top 14%

My two passions are travel and writing. In the past I have lived hand-to-mouth as I made my way around the globe. For the last few years however, I have been working at a world expo themed park in Dubai.. and I save enough money during the winter season to trek and camp my way through extended 5 or 6 month epic adventures during the summer.

I'm in the process of building the Travel Blog website 'Tramposaurus Treks' (www.Tramposaurus.com), launching mid 2017. Tramposaurus Treks will cover a variety of topics but will mainly focus on walking holidays, ranging from day hikes to extended, cross-continent adventures. I hope to show people through the blog that extended journeys by foot can be a healthy, exciting and extremely affordable way to deeply immerse yourself in places and cultures and allow travelers to get much more out of the time and money they spend on their vacations.

In the past, I have been a Marine Corps Sergeant, a Senior Executive Assistant at AmEx, a minor Pop Star in the Philippines, a Waiter at too many restaurants, a journalist, a photographer, an Online Marketing Guru, an Entertainment Industry and Celebrity Publicist, a Special Event Producer, a Broadway and National Tour Performer and then Company Manager, the founder and executive director for an AIDS Fund Raising Charity Organization in Washington DC, a Mountain Bike Tour Guide in the Andes Mountains, a major nightclub Creative Director, and currently I work as the Program Manager at one of Dubai's top entertainment attractions, Global Village, Dubai.

I have lived (in this order) in Hollywood, Florida (born and raised) - Paris Island, SC - Camp Pendleton, CA - Okinawa, Japan - Cherry Point, NC - Yuma, AZ - Iwakuni, Japan - Subic Bay, Philippines - Broome, Australia - Washington, DC - New York City (11 years with living experiences in Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan and even New Jersey) - Woodstock, NY - Quito, Ecuador - Cali, Colombia - Istanbul, Turkey - Bangkok, Thailand - Johannesburg, South Africa - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
