Thanks for taking the time to read my TravelBlog. Originally from the Chicago area i received my BS from northern Illinois University and after graduating I started my "career" at Abbott Laboratories. While there I earned my MBA from DePaul, Univiersity. Then I dropped out of the corporate world in 1992 when I moved to Minnesota. Next, I dropped out of the rat race in 1997 and I've been traveling since. For the first few years I only traveled in the US, working one summer in Yellowstone national park and I spent two summers in Alaska. I also had the great fortune to be a rafting guide for a couple of summers out in Southern Utah as well as traveling the southwest of the U.S.. I Went to Europe for 5 months in 2003, then to Central America in 2004 for 4 month. I went to South America in 2005 for 6 months and realized that I probably wasn't going to live in my house in Ely, Minnesota so I sold it along with my car and all my worldly possessions and decided to go around the world, so in April of 2006 I went back to South America for a little over a year. I will be continuing on this "around the world" when I take off for South East Asia in August 2007. I enjoy photography, especially taking pictures of people. Check my photos out at fotosbydavid.com.
Cheers,
Dave
