About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find the grail!

ABOUT ME

I'm congenial, will appreciate any accommodations given to me, and enjoy the off-beaten track of travel just as much (if not a little more) than the beaten track.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life's too important to be taken seriously."
and
"If everything went according to plan, it would be a boring trip."

  • traveling
  • skydiving
  • track and field

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Zip-lined in a Costa Rican rain forest. Closest feeling to flying you will ever experience. Skydiving and bungy jumping don't even compare. The only way I can express it is through this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdUUx5FdySs

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy for any advice/tid-bit people can throw my way, and likewise, I'm happy to give any that are asked for.
I love sharing stories of being on the road and of hilarious misadventures.
