CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking through Europe with a Golden Book

ABOUT ME

I am a 25 year old Internet marketing traveler. I plan on logging my travels on my website at http://www.goldenbooktraveler.com.

A few things you might want to know about me!

1. I spent 7 months in Europe, visiting 25 countries from jan - aug 2010.

2. I love anything outdoors. I am a certified scuba diver, avid soccer(futbol)player, runner, and adventer.

3. I'll be logging my adventures on my website as well as my handy Golden Book. If I meet you, I'd be happy for you to sign my book and write a few lines in it.

4. I love meeting new people and sharing adventure stories.

5. I was born in Texas and have lived there all my life. Ya I've been living in my Texan bubble for quite some time, but it really is a great state, Austin especially is a nice city. Suffice to say, I'll be bursting out of that bubble very soon.

6. My last name is German and no one has ever pronounced it right the first time. If you think you can get it right I'll buy your beer for a day.

7. My job description would fall under the category of Self-Employed Internet Marketer, but it's a bit more complicated then that. I consider myself a blogger, creative writer, email marketer, search engine marketer, tweeter and much more. I have my hands in just about anything internet.

PHILOSOPHY

Just live YOUR life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies are cool, too many good ones to list.

Music is pleasing to my ears and I love anything RATM, 311, The Killers, Dream Theater, Jurassic 5, Bone Thugs, and much more

Most of the books I read are non-fiction. i enjoy reading about the success stories of other people, communication related material, and business psychology

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A ran a Marathon once.

Teach, Learn, Share

Most of my knowledge revolves around sports and internet marketing. I have been known to recite batting averages of professional baseball players, quarterback ratings of American football players, and scoring averages of basketball players.

Useless info for the most part, but not when your pridefully supporting your favorite sports team.

As for the Internet, I'm doing my part to make the world a smaller place!
