The Explorer

David’s wanderlust began when he was 17, as a crew member on a trawler that sailed across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii. His most recent journey was a 35,000-mile overland adventure from San Francisco to Ushuaia, Argentina, over dusty back roads along the entire Andean Mountain range through eleven countries.
