ABOUT ME
I'm easy-going but love to get out, explore, and have a good time. Whenever I have the money and enough free time, I travel. To me, it is the most fun, exciting, and fulfilling thing in life.
Massive Arsenal supporter - and since I live in the US that means early Saturday and Sunday mornings at the pub.
I'm intrigued by good food and drink and enjoy exploring restaurants and bars all over the world. I think sharing food is the best way to experience a culture and I'm always up to cook.
My birth certificate says Miami, I grew up in Kansas City, went to university in Texas, studied in Copenhagen, and have since lived in New York City, Wyoming, and now Chicago. Where next?
PHILOSOPHY
At some point while traveling, after you have been to enough places, met enough interesting people, you get hooked. If you haven't yet, keep traveling.
