Jeff Becan

Jeff Becan loves his family, his friends and his life on planet Earth. While living here, he has learned how to sail, how to juggle, and how to mentally surf. He has done volunteer work in Mexico, has counseled patients at a psychiatric institute, has done production work for theater, television and film, and has also worked as a travel writer. For three years he managed a hostel on a faraway island in the North Atlantic. For another three years he managed another hostel in Maine. Over the years he has sailed from Maine to Key West and back, climbed several mountains, escaped a bizarre mind-control cult, and once fell into the river Seine. He currently lives in Washington DC and holds degrees in sociology and linguistics.
