Welcome to Wires Around the World

I wanted to start this first blog off i guess explaining a little about what i want to do with this, and where i want to go.
My name is CJ Powell, and i am from Seattle Washington, i currently work full time, and go to school at night, and DJ on the weekends. I have been DJing for about ten years, and recently moved from Los Angeles, back to Seattle where i am from. My DJing has taken me to some cool places, but not nearly the places i thought it would. I thought that i would travel the world DJing, but instead i worked my ass off, became somewhat successful, but never left LA much. This is not what i wanted to do, so i decided to make a life decision, and i moved to seattle, where i could do more hiking, snowboarding, and outdoor activities. While still DJing and producing music, and being close to my family . I also got engaged to a wonderful woman that shares my passion for travel.
Having moved back to seattle, i started instantly looking up trails and spots to go hiking. I started snowboarding pretty much every weekend, and slowly begin to feel that urge to do even more. Now i have decided to move to New Zealand or somewhere overseas and travel the world, if only for a couple of years. I also love to write, and i would love to share my thoughts about the world as i see it, so i decided to start a blog. I dont know if anything will ever come of this, but at least i can share the places i have seen, and the people i have met, and hopefully chronical my adventures, and share some of my clever...if only i think so, observations.
So that is what this blog will be, it will be me sharing my love to write and the places i go hiking, the places i travel, the people i meet, and the places and events i DJ. Soon it will be places i have traveled abroad, and the many friends i make along the way.
With this i am always looking for feedback of places to go, or people to meet, and share some words with. I believe the meaning of life, lies in each one of us. We all have a little bit of the answer, a little bit to teach everyone else. My goal in life has always been to learn what that is, to learn from people, and places things about my self, and hope that i can share those things with the people and the world around me.
