About Hunter
I like to travel. I spent 2002 studying abroad in Australia. Two months of that year I spent backpacking around the major cities and into the outback. I also spent two weeks tent camping and scuba diving on Northwest island at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef. I spent the summer of 2003 in Alaska teaching at an environmental summer camp for kids ages 4-13 and hiking in the evenings and on the weekends. I spent a week in Costa Rica and am very interested in exploring more of Latin America and Spanish speaking culture. I studied three semesters of Spanish and try to practice my very limited spanish every time I can.

I enjoy reading, running, indoor climbing, and discussing the problems of the world over a cup of coffee.
