Tim's Travel Page
I've traveled throughout much of the Western
Hemisphere, including all of the "lower 48", ten Canadian Provinces,
and 11 countries between Mexico and Peru. Six of these roadtrips
have been for three months or more! A hundred more trips are in the
planning stages, but sometimes work and school get in the way! Soon,
maybe when the Spring rains begin, I'll put up pages of some of the
cooler places I've been; places like the Galapagos
Islands, the volcanoes in Nicaragua, the
highlands of Guatemala, the rainforest
in Columbia, and all the incredible places
right here in the USA. Anyone with an
inkling to travel; Go for it! Stuff only what you really need in
a van or a backpack, grab a Lonely
Planet guidebook, and hit the road! Do a long
roadtrip once, and you'll be hooked for life!

Disclaimer: Much of the blame for my addiction
to adventure travel can be placed on my parents. As a child growing
up in Fort Lauderdale, some days were hotter than you-know-what!
Numerous Saturday or Sunday drives down through the Florida keys were an
ultimate escape from the heat. One year Dad traded in a bunch of
Raliegh cigarette coupons for a tent and Coleman stove, and the rest
is history. Now we could stay overnight in the Keys, or anywhere
else. Soon we began traveling to Canada every year, and camping all
along the way. Eight people plus a dog in a 9x12 tent was an adventure!
On some trips we would camp in 15 or 20 states. After college,
I bought a van, worked three jobs to save some money, and hit the
road for three months. I spent a week or so at each of those cool
National Parks out west, and became hooked for life on travlin'.
After a half dozen long roadtrips through America, I tried backpacking
through Central America. My last trip was down to South America.
Every trip gets better. The folks you meet on the road are a special
breed. Lots of folks travel for a year or two at a time. The
world is big. We are lucky to live in a time when travel is possible,
and relatively easy and inexpensive. I wouldn't trade any of my trips
for all the $$ in the world! Thanks Mom and Dad.
Note: Additional blame for this affliction
must also go to the professors at Fitchburg State College. Initially
I was after an EE degree at ULowell, but the class was full, so I
took a intro Bio course at FCS. The rest is history. Dr.'s
DS, NA, and all the others made learning a real blast. The Geo profs,
Dr.'s B, C, and G got me thinking about how lucky we are to live in a land
so rich in natural wonders! Explore the World; Live your Dreams!!!
