CURRENT MISSION

I would like to share my experiences with other travlers and make it easier to travel for everyone!

ABOUT ME

I am a relaxed easy going guy. I like to hike, cycle, rock climb, travel and just about anything you can think of. Playing sports is always a blast! Most of the time I prefer a 12 pack of beer and good company at home to the bar. Nights out on the town are fun as well. I also like to learn about historical sites and places. For the most part I'm just a normal guy looking to travel and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" - Unknown I love that quote and I like to be ambitious, spontaneous and be happy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Carns Australia I went SUBA diving on the Great Barrier Reef! When I was in Antartica I saw some of the Aurora Borealis (southern lights) which were simply AMAZING! In Cambodia Angkor Wat and in Thailand SCUBA diving in Koh Thao with Whale Sharks!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I have a lot of knowledge of whats going on in the Middle East. I was in the Marine Corps for 6 years and I did 3 tours there. I have been a volunteer Firefighter for the past 6 years and a paid Firefighter for the past 4 years. I also have a solid foundation of mountaineering experience. I am a rock climber, SCUBA diver, fly fisherman, mountain biker and a white water kayaker. I spent 6 months in Antarctica, backpacked on all 7 continents and hope to continue to travel!
