I'm currently a student at U-Mass Boston finishing up my undergrad in Math/CS. Current Blog Projects: UrbanBackpacker: Started in summer of 2005 UrbanBackpacker was set up along with my girl friend Jill as a means to stay better in touch with friends and family while traveling in Europe. Since than we have evolved the UrbanBackpacker concept into a repository of our travel experiences to help others trying to do the same things as us. Our goal is to provide other fellow travelers following in our foot steps or simply crossing our path with opinionated “been there done that” advice about the cities and regions we visit. Cheers, Turtle
