Danny Crazy Horse Strayer: I grew up in Michigan before working as a civil engineer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After five years of the office life, Id had enough, quit my job, and began a life of travel. From road trips across America to hiking South African mountains or the Bavarian Alps, Im always down for adventure. I blog about my travels at www.astraylife.com and am currently hiking the Appalachian Trail.
