Introduction

I'm a global backpacker on tour with a new book, 'Planet Backpacker.' I'm speaking in New York and thought your club might be interested in my story. Check out www.planetbackpacker.net

Backpacking around the world in 2007. I rode a mountain bike 700 miles across Europe and then backpacked on through India, Egypt, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia

Do you have current Wilderness First Aid training? If not, would you be interested in getting this certification?
