CURRENT MISSION

I want to meet new people and experience new cultures

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun, outgoing, smiley guy who loves new experiences and new people. I'm optimistic and easy going, loyal and trustworthy. I'm excited for new adventures. I love great conversation, and great food, I love laughter.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to the fullest that I'm capable. I believe we only get one life so "get busy living or get busy dying." I'm having some trouble currently and always with America's fear driven society and impossible standards. As an american I long for perspective in my life and self. I do not belong to any religion. I believe life is a continual pursuit for knowledge. I think life is what you make of it.
