Hello!

 * My name is Chapman and I am 25 years old.
 * I am very excited about wikivoyage.org. Finally, a free and open content site for real world travelers!

About Me

 * I have lived, traveled, worked and studied in several countries, and counting.
 * There is nothing I love more than traveling and learning languages.
 * Other than English I speak French, Spanish, Portuguese and can get by in Italian, German, Chinese and have notions of Swahili.

Where I Have Lived

 * USA - Virginia, Maine, California, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Hawaii, Wyoming, Maryland
 * Colombia - Cartagena, Bogota
 * Argentina - Buenos Aires
 * Canada/Quebec - Montreal
 * France - Grenoble, Paris
 * China - Dali
 * Tanzania - Mpwapwa

Where I Have Traveled

 * Obviously all the places I have lived, and...
 * USA - Every state except the Dakotas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Oregon, Washington and Montana
 * Southern China - Hong Kong, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan
 * Europe - Spain, Portugal, England, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Switzerland
 * Colombia - Barranquilla, Santa Marta, Rodadero, Bogota, Medellin, Sincelejo, Coveñas, Tolu, Barú
 * Russia - Moscow
 * Japan - Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Tsuruga, Tomokomai, Sapporo, Shiretoko National Forest (Hokkaido)

What I Do

 * I own several businesses (both internet and travel-related) with my brother and a good friend, including the latest one, and most pertinent to the content of this site, Hostel Happy. As far as I know, Hostel Happy is the first of its kind, a sailboat hostel in the Caribbean.
 * Travel by land, sea and air to as many places as I possibly can and learn languages, experience culture and broaden my horizons.

How I can help you

 * Contact me about any of these places and I can give you info on good spots. I will be putting all of my accumulated knowledge in tidbits on this site as I am able to, so eventually it will all be here!
 * I may already have! I try to add fun content to the site that directs travelers towards real things to do and places to see. I am not big on adding general content, just little things here and there that could make your travels in certain areas just a little more real, exciting and cultural.
