[edit] Hello!

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

[edit] 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.

• USA - Virginia, Maine, California, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Hawaii, Wyoming, Maryland

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.
