My name is Teddy Garlock, I am a hobbyist explorer living in a van bouncing between Rochester NY and Fort White FL. I like to think my hygiene is a bit better than the definition, and I’ve managed to hold down full time employment since the age of 18. However, I do fancy myself a bit of a dirtbag, in a good way!
