Hello there. My name is Shawn. I'm a 26 year old software developer from Lindenwold, New Jersey. I've gone through some pretty wild changes within myself in the last year. I've decided to hike as a form of 'walkabout' to figure out some things about myself, and resolve some inner conflicts. I've started this blog to document my trips, and share with the world of what nature is like from the eyes of a deaf person. I will be writing short stories and taking many pictures for my book. Many of my posts will be excerpts from the book, so feel free to check back often.
