CURRENT MISSION

What an odd question... I was under the impression this was the place to meet cool, worldly people. I didn't know I was signing for a covert operation.

ABOUT ME

Hmmmm... Why does every social networking service ask the same question? Now I have to come up with a way to be clever and charming, while avoid being self-serving. What a pickle.
Well if I could use three words to describe myself they would be: caring, honest, and unpredictable. That's meant for my future hosts; hopefully, those characteristics are on the top of their lists.
As for my guests, I am extremely clean, polite, and hospitable. Feel free to stop on by. :)

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live by two quotes:
Be the change you want to see in the world.

You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best sunset I've ever seen was in a war zone.

The people that have inspired me the most have been children; they are more resilient and open minded than adults. The kids I saw in Tanzania, Iraq, and Afghanistan changed my life.
