CURRENT MISSION

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm Dave. I'm 27. I grew up in Arizona, but got a taste for travel when I did my study abroad in Germany. Since then I've lived and traveled through many countries in Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. I like music and play a few instruments. I enjoy hiking and camping and other outdoor activities. One of my favorite hobbies is home brewing. I have a nut allergy, but I carry my meds with me everywhere I go.

PHILOSOPHY

Be good to others.

Interests

Reading, movies, music. I dig linguistics, history and international relations. I've got a background in music, and play trombone, piano, and some guitar and bass. I enjoy the outdoors and being outside, and have taken some survival courses. I also do a bit of home brewing.
