CURRENT MISSION

I'm on a mission to experience the world and all that it has to offer...

ABOUT ME

L'Etranger et L'Voyageur...

Always a traveler, thus perpetually a foreigner...I wouldn't have it any other way...

I've never been one who traveled just as a consumer - simply going places to eat their food and take photos of the 'locals'. I find that trite.

I lead a double life - the life of a traveler, but also, the life of a professional, working to develop communities and economies on a global scale. Therefore, I love travel, but I also like the idea of building something concrete in this world before I leave it - it's not just about seeing the world - it's about what kind of impact one can have on it by using the resources and time/talents one has been blessed with.

In other words, I don't travel b/c I have no plan or no roots/want to wander aimlessly around for years. I travel b/c it's the best way for me to learn how I can situate myself in this universe and identify the most effective way for me to give back. Traveling is the best way to learn about life.

I love hiking, long distance biking, running, soccer (football) and pretty much every kind of physical activity.

I love having a good time!!

PHILOSOPHY

"Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time. It is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable".
