Hello everyone!
I have been messing around on this forum for quite a while now, and I figured I should introduce myself. I am 21 years old and hail from a little place called Quinter, KS. Quinter is about as small town America as you can get (population 916, and yes I know them all by their first and last names). I have been saving my money since I was about 13 years old, planning on getting out of this small-minded small town. Originally I was saving for college, but when I recieved a full ride (communication major/business tech minor) I decided that all my money would take me where I really wanted to go.
Since I have been on such a tight budget, my backpacking has never been able to take me outside of North America. Most of my adventures have been to Arizona for climbing or the American/Canadian border for camping, canoeing and kayaking. Most of my friends call me a minimalist backpacker, always trying to find a way to shave off an oz or two in my tiny pack or save a dollar here or there.
Anyway, enough about me! Hope to get to know you all a lot better and maybe we will meet up somewhere!
Jason
