Nice guy. A bit quiet until he's comfortable. Leaves things better than found.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Loved walking on the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, and visiting castles in Scotland and England. Driving on the left in Australia was fun.
Did a 36 State tour of the USA in 1989, hitting most National Parks and Major Cities in 49 days - 14,000 miles.
2012-13 North American trip - 49 states and 10 Provinces in 8.5 months and 40,000 miles!

What I Can Share with Hosts
We can demonstrate Virtual Reality! We have a Notebook computer and Headset with us on our trip.
We're taking 360 Video and photographs wherever we go so people can eventually, when the media is processed, also experience where we've been.
My wife developed a demo VR Game to show what someone can do with programming VR with free components and learning to program on-line!
