User:(WT-en) Skyduster

Hi, I'm Eric G. "Skyduster"

I am a native of Chicago, Illinois, USA. I've been traveling abroad since I was only 6, mostly to Europe. Recently, I've had the opportunity to visit more places here in the US. There are scores of places still on my list to visit.

Growing up with exposure to both sides of the Atlantic, I've developed a sense of not really belonging to any specific place and belonging to everywhere at the same time. I am very easy to get along with, but I always find myself making the strongest connections with other people from the travel and expat communities.
