China

I am a chronic traveller. You might find me in the cockpit of a sea kayak, hiking a backcountry trail, riding a wave, cycling single-track or riding a motorcycle on another adventure.

Yunnan Province

In the fall of 2006, I set off to explore Yunnan Province with my friend Juergen. We landed in Kunming, the "City of Eternal Spring", and spent a few nights before heading west to Dali, then north to Lijiang, Shangri-La, Deqin, and the Meili Snow Mountains. We hitched rides with bemused truckers, spent time with the Naxi, Yi, and Bai ethnic minorities, and drank in spectacular vistas along the way.

My journal filled with stories. Discovering Yunnan, a walk through Tiger Leaping Gorge and a hike to The Sacred Waterfall are a few of the many adventures.
