# About me

Profile Picture by ArtCrumbss
HI! I'm Atrox. I'm generally a nice, albeit shy person. I love to travel and adventure and this is one of the reasons why I'm drawn to photography. I have spent a considerable amount of time cave diving, traveling in Central America and working in the Bearing Sea. After one too many injuries I decided to go back to school when I was 21, where I grew to love art. I currently have one college degree and I am working on a second one (Environmental Science and Documentation). Currently my spare time is primarily taken up by mountaineering and photography.
When I am not busy with school I do a lot of photography, listening to music, mountaineering, hiking, camping, kayaking, stone/wood carving, reading, collecting random things, and gardening. I also occasionally give tattoos/piercings.
I have traveled to most states in the US, western Canada, Mexico(the Yucatan), Russia(only eastern Siberia), Jamaica, Haiti, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras. I hope to travel to Scandinavia, Australia, Southeast Asia, and Bolivia in the near future.
Have some epic webcomics---v

Awwww jeez! All these birthday messages I still need to get to! lol Things have been nuts! I'm halfway done with my nursing degree but now I'm applying to schools in Nova Scotia to finish up. After this last election I wanna get permanent residency status in Canada on the double! lol Wouldn't that make us, like, 10th cousins 5times removed or something?

SnowInHades In reply to AtroxGray [2016-12-01 03:34:18 +0000 UTC]
It's the thought that counts
You and many others will probably move to Canada, lol
I only think we'll be 10th cousins 5 times removed if you move to Australia

I mean... It's not just the fact that what's his face got elected... It's the fact that half the country voted for him. There isn't any fixing that I don't think. Honestly, it will be easier and cheaper to finish my degree there, it's just a matter of getting a study visa which isn't exactly the easiest thing. Still doable though. I'm super glad that I have a squeaky clean record now! lol
What about New Zealand?

Hahaha, you guys drive on the wrong side of the road . I don't think i could ever get used to it either

AtroxGray In reply to SnowInHades [2016-12-04 05:01:59 +0000 UTC]
Honestly I think I would like New Zealand quite a bit... Especially the west coast. However, Canada makes more sense at present.
Besides! If I go to Australia a drop bear might get me! Plus I have no experience in riding kangaroos...
Honestly, my goals really aren't that extravagant. I just want to finish school and save enough to start a hobby farm... Lol

SnowInHades In reply to AtroxGray [2016-12-04 06:37:19 +0000 UTC]
New Zealand is a really beautiful place. I'd even consider moving there
Yeah, sorry mate, but we only take those who are experienced kangaroo riders and drop bear catchers
Actually, i like your goals. I'm impressed that you have them, because I don't

AtroxGray In reply to SnowInHades [2016-12-04 06:54:54 +0000 UTC]
Meh! Your only like what? 40ish? You still plenty of time for goals...
I mean... I've been on my own for a good long while. If I didn't have a goal I'd end up in a ditch. 😜
Yeah, I think New Zealand would be a lot like where I grew up. Except more people! Lol you'll have to visit my farm if I ever make that way! 😉
Rabbit, ducks, goats, and apples is the goal 😁

AtroxGray In reply to AtroxGray [2016-12-04 07:09:36 +0000 UTC]
Now that I think about it... No bears, wolves, coyotes or anything like that there... That would certainly make things easier. And they have salmon too don't they! Yup, that's pretty much like home. 😀
At that, I could see New Zealand being my ultimate goal as far as location goes. That's a ways out time wise though.
