>>2698278>>2698278Haven't been on 4chan in two years. Listen to a lot of greentext. I am a 30 year old Russian-Ukrainian-American, born to a mother from Ukraine and a father from Siberia. They met in outside of Cleveland in their 30s. We grew up poor, but then slowly managed to find ourselves middle class in Chicago, then to the suburbs. I was a stoner, and I skateboarded a lot in high school, but always wanted to experience the outdoors. I didn't see my first mountain until I was 17, when I took a solo Greyhound bus trip to Northern California. From there, I fell in love. I've been to 30 national parks, forests, wilderness areas, and many state parks. I have been to 48 out of 50 states, with Rhode Island and Idaho last on the list. I was also a Marine, and active in extreme sports.
