About Me

CURRENT MISSION

State College, PA anyone?

ABOUT ME

I'm an avid traveler. I've been to 47 states in the USA (I'm missing Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii) and a few countries outside the USA. My dream and goal is to one day visit and spend time in every Latin American country (Mexico to Argentina, Central America and South America--everything south of the US that is) and get to know and appreciate the culture and people of every one of those countries; I'm a good ways there, but there is always another place to visit :)

I'm living in Shreevport, LA and may be able to host you! Message me and let's see!

PHILOSOPHY

Looking forward to continued conversations concerning life and how we live it, as well as international relations and things concerning international. I love to hear other perspectives on issues!
