About Me

CURRENT MISSION

traveling is my passion --meet new friends and travel to as many places as possible

ABOUT ME

I think one of the best times of my life was sitting down with old friends the other night for a beer and having them tell each other many things that we had done to help others. I love to have conversations with others even if just meeting them in the checkout line of a store. I am active in outdoor activities, healthy and ready for a fascinating trip through Latin America.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the best of each moment in life. Try to do and see as much as possible and help others along the journey.

Interests

My favorite interests are photography and travel which I am combining in my trip through Latin America. (Facebook.co/LatinAmericaByJeep) I also love to dance, hike, read and just enjoy life. I've stayed with several host families with another organization and the stays were rewarding.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One great time was last year when I had a very up close and personal meeting with a Mexican bull. I was taking photos of a bullfight and standing next to the bullring (in the Callejon), when the bull jumped the fence and I had to jump the fence to get out of his way. He then returned to the ring and came after me again and I had to jump back over the fence. Another memorable time was participating as a rider for the reenactment of the Pony Express. I rode in Southwestern Wyoming. Other favorites have been a journey across Europe and North Africa on a motorcycle. I also loved a trip on horseback in the Uinta Mountain Wilderness area. We rode at altitudes around 11,000 feet and through extremely rough country.
