ABOUT ME

matt gibson

I travel, write stories, and take pictures for a living, but what I love more than anything is attempting ridiculous adventures in far-flung places with a total lack of planning and common sense. Nobody buys those stories, so I publish them here. If you'd like to read more about me, you can read more here.
