Christmas in Alaska

Christmas in Petersburg is always my favorite time of the year, spending time with friends and family, julebukking, and relaxing at home. This year the weather was amazing, with clear and cold temperatures the first week with great views of the mountains, and then snow later on giving me time to ski and snowshoe. Here are a few photos...  

Back in Oregon

Hello! I decided to start a blog again to share my adventures around the world this spring. It seamed to work well while I was in Ecuador and it should be a great way to keep in touch. I won't be traveling with a computer so I can't guarantee how often I will be able to post. 

Here are my plans: 

January 2009: TA outdoor environmental studies class in oregon, backcountry skiing and snow camping 

February 2-16, 2009: visit Anne in Sydney, enjoy the city and surrounding areas and hitchhike to the Snowy Mountains 

February 16-May 11: Travel solo in NZ! We will see where this takes me... I will be doing a 21-day Outward Bound NZ Classic course March 1-21 in the Marlbourough Sound on the northern part of the south island. Other than that, I hope to tramp, explore, and meet new people. 

May 11 and onward: Unknown
