We have been meeting lots of folks on this trip that are full fledged BootsnAll members - or at least avid readers and travelers...so maybe I will start to publish some profiles of folks we meet.

Name: David Baker (I'll get a picture soon)

Age: I think early 20's

Stuff about him: he graduated from Berkeley last spring and is currently a lab manager at the school. His girlfriend Patricia (who is Polish) introduced him to BootsnAll as a good resource for RTW trips. He e-mailed me today and met Nick, Joe E., and I for lunch.

He is an avid homebrewer.

Travel Stuff: He wants to do a multi-continental trip starting June 2003 - It entails going to Poland with Patricia and learning Polish in a school there. He then wants to jump over to London to visit his bro (works there) and then onto Guatemala for some Central American stuff until his money runs out.

Even more other stuff: he is gonna meet Nick, Joe E., and I at the Albatross this evening...recommended by old friend and BootsnAll Consulting client Tara Weaver tonight at around 5:30
or so.

Random sidenote: While searching for that link on the Albatross - I came across a whole bunch of Berkeley blogs - 'uck yeah.
