The Counter-Pacific Trail is an adventure from Asia/Oceania to the West Coast of the USA and beyond. As of Oct 2014, I have been abroad 8.5 years, living & working as an engineer in SE Asia with past homebases in Hong Kong, mainland China, and primarily Taiwan. Now i'm on the move again, bushwhacking the Counter-Pacific Trail and rolling both lifestyle and work along for the ride. Interestingly en
ough, I've imposed a travel boundary conditional to the intended itinerary. I hold a US passport valid through 2019, however it is full with page additions (max 3) and only contains 2 remaining blank pages. There is also a China f-visa valid through mid-Dec with 60 day duration stays, which I intend to leverage for significant time in-China. Thus the intended itinerary gravitates towards visa-free travels and the PRC, to prolong the real estate in my passport. Lived & Traveled:
