Matt Gibson is a Canadian travel writer and photographer with a large capacity for adventure and small reservoir of common sense.

He once disregarded some very sensible advice at a motorcycle shop in Borneo and ended up driving a motorcycle up the side of Mount Kinabalu at night, with no headlights. The following day he drove the motorcycle across the flooding Bornean countryside through a tropical monsoon for eight hours.

He's also flipped kayaks in large lakes without a life vest, followed corrupt Guatemalan soldiers with large guns through protected Mayan temples in the middle of the night, and climbed a pile of bat poop taller than the house he lived in.

He lived for six years in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Taiwan, learned learned to speak Mandarin Chinese like a six-year-old, and appeared in a very fake episode of House Hunter's International.

He also lived for 8 months in a Guatemalan village on the shore of Lake Atitlan and learned to speak Spanish like an 8-month-old.

Matt now lives in Salt Lake City, UT, where he now spends his days managing the Flight Network Blog, writing the About.com Snowboarding Guide, and adding tales of absurd behavior in exotic locations to his blog.
