ABOUT ME

My name is Joe, I live in Portland, Oregon, I did a lot of my international traveling when I was in the Navy, I felt I got a lot more out of my experiences there than most did, it sparked my love for travel, culture, adventure. I like to mix my enthusiasm for traveling with my love of skiing and snowboarding. I am a good sense of humor, enjoy experiencing different people and different places. I may write something more detailed later.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have ridden a camel in Dubai and sandboarded the Persian Gulf. I have visited a Buddhist temple in Korea, a Mulsim Mosque in Singapore, and a Hindu Shrine in Malaysia, I have drank a Singapore sling in Singapore and drank a Hawaiian Punch in Hawaii, because I am sometimes cheesy like that, I held the Olympic torch in 2002, skied/snowboarded and partied in Canada for the 2010 Olympics. Lived in a house in Lake Tahoe on the Mountain in Squaw Valley that the Swedish ski team lived in. I ate Sushi in Japan, Chinese food in China, held Koala's in Australia, drank mad Cerveza's in Mexico. I have driven across country and have driven the west coast ocean, I have enough songs in my Ipod to drive for a month straight and never hear the same song... and lots of other similar type things. Next on my list is I would like to eat Spaghetti in Italy, drink rum in the Caribbean and I have been wanting to explore more of the East coast.
