Gordon Chaney
Well now lets see. I graduated from the U of K (University of Kentucky for those not familiar) with a degree in Biology. Naturally I have a passion for animals. Particularly the endagnered/extinct variety and creepy crawlies. I have traveled extensively around the South East US but am actively looking to reach out and see things I've never seen before. I explore ghost stories in my spare time coming from a ghost story telling culture, its great fun. I'm just trying to keep myself occupied. Look me up on Twitter for all the latest article and info, search for The Blue Traveler.
