Wilson has always looked for adventure in remote areas of the world.  He has traveled to Kenya in 1986 to assist in the construction of a 1 room schoolhouse on Lake Victoria.  The following year he participated in classes on the history & culture of Brazil which culminated in a two week tour throughout the state of Rio de Janeiro.  Wilson then traveled to Iceland
experiencing geysers, newly created volcanic islands, and the devastation an eruption one can unleash on a nearby town.  Wilson spent one semester during college as a student at Macquarie University in NSW Australia.  While there he traveled the east coast from Cape Tribulation (Cairnes) to Sydney visiting
the Great Barrier Reef, Fraser Island, the Whitsunday Islands, Surfers Paradise and multiple wineries. 

For the last six years Wilson has lived in Boston, MA and has worked for a large regional bank undergoing many mergers ending up with Quick & Reilly.  The corporate world has effectively stagnated much of Wilson's latest travels.  Last year he was able to participate in TransAmerica Trek '99 with the Border to Border Expedition Society and travel from Tecate, Mexico to Inuvik, NWT Canada over the course of a month. Wilson's co-driver throughout this expedition was his sister Caroline.  She is currently a volunteer in Southwest England with plans to attend complete post graduate work in Madrid.  She cannot wait to see the group off in February, 2001.
