2012, a year of life-changing adventures: First, Brad tramped the Te Araroa Trail in New Zealand, then he hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in the US, and now he's trekking the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. He's hoping to put 5,000 miles on his walking feet before year's end.
Brad travelled to China in November to visit a friend, Yessi, sightsee in China and take care of some medical needs -- mostly getting much-needed dental work tended to. The quote for the dental work in the US that he needed was $5500. Yessi researched dental work in Xiamen, her home, and discovered he could have the same work, plus more, done for $1100. The difference paid for the trip and is rounding out Brad's 2012 year with one final thru-hike.
