Summary: This is just to let the jeteye community know a little bit about myself. Like the title above reads, my name is indeed Danilo Markov. I'm 23 years old, born and raised up to the age of seven in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Since 1990, I've been living in the San Francisco Bay Area, most of that time spent in the Richmond District of SF, with some brief stints in Redwood City and Berkeley. I've actually just moved back to SF from the latter city, where I spent 3 years working on my BA, finishing my last class this August (I double-majored in Linguistics and Mass Communications, with a minor in Geography). Though I love the East Bay and go back to Berkeley and Oakland all the time, I can't say the same for my native country -- that is, I'm sure I'll love it, but I haven't gotten the chance to go back and find out. One of my goals in the next year is to do just that. My biggest obsession in the last few years has been music of all kinds, whether it's listening to it, dancing to it, playing it, DJing, reading about it, anything. It's gotten to be a bit overwhelming, but as far as obsessions go, it's a safe one, I think. Aside from playing music alone and in bands, I've been a DJ at KALX 90.7FM, my alma mater's campus station. On the side, I write freelance for a number of music publications, most frequently for West Coast Performer magazine. The DJing is great fun, but music criticism might not be my cup of tea (should anyone out there need a writer, though, write me!). Outside of music, my interests are much more scattershot, not so neatly tied up in themes. In this way, I truly am a child of the Web, as research in one thing I'm curious about will lead to the discovery of something amazing I had no idea existed, and then to something else, and so forth. I always was kind of a library rat from as far as I can remember. I end up getting a bit lost sometimes, so to speak, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Anyway, to try and sum everything up in one little jetpak wouldn't do any of it justice, so hopefully I'll get the chance to spread out and share all of the amazing knowledge I find with all the jeteye users out there! That's quite enough for now, I think... let me drop some of my most visited links, as well as some images related to myself, where I've been, and what I like. Thanks for reading!

Summary: People are drawn to backpacking primarily for recreation, to explore places that they consider beautiful and fascinating, or for which there is no other way to access. The main advantage of backpacking over day hiking is that it allows the hiker to go deeper into remote areas well away from transportation systems and people and their effects. Leave No Trace is a philosophy of hiking and backpacking. Proponents of Leave No Trace believe that individual actions in the backcountry accumulate to degrade the wilderness experience. Therefore, any individual in the backcountry should behave in such a way that future visitors cannot tell that anyone was there before. The slogan "Leave no trace" (LNT) summarizes a trend among hikers to address concerns about conservation of the ecosystems and scenery that often motivate hikes.
