Matador Member – Shamps

Photos by Shamps

I’m fired up on being a traveler my whole life.

I’m fired up on Anthony Bourdain and other travelers that inspire me.

I’m fired up on the ocean, I can never get enough of it.

I’m fired up on the Seattle local music scene.

I’m fired up on hiking, which works out because WA has so many beautiful places to hike.

Favorite books: Hunter S. Thompson, Elizabeth Gilbert, and anyone else with a good perspective.
