 | Gabriel Morris was born in Vancouver, Canada, raised in rural Northern
California, and has also lived in Alaska, Hawaii and Oregon. He is an admitted travel addict, as well as outdoors enthusiast, cultural explorer and spiritual seeker, with a BA in Religious Studies. He has adventure traveled sporadically since the age of eighteen, both within the U.S. and abroad, and will undoubtedly continue to do so. He is the author of three books: "Kundalini and the Art of Being", a spiritual adventure story (Station Hill Press, to be published 2007); as well as "Following My Thumb" (a collection of assorted travel stories) and "I Leapt Into the Night" (a collection of fiction short stories), both unpublished works-in-progress. He is also featured with three pieces in the hitchhiking anthology "No Such Thing as a Free Ride?" (Cassell Illustrated, May 2005, see link above). He currently lives in Portland, Oregon, USA.....PS. I'll be gone traveling to Hawaii, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, India and Nepal (and maybe a few other places) until summer 2008.
