About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel to every nation. 4 down, few more to go.....

ABOUT ME

Lover of all knowledge, Eternal traveller, Hopeful romantic, Wishful idealist, Sometime writer, Joyful in diversity.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live idealistically. I serve others, love unconditionally, learn from anyone I meet, and generally try to be a loving person. I love differences of opinion, because they either strengthen my own convictions, or give me a better way to understand life. In summary, I love learning life lessons (and alliteration).

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Literally anything that inspires. Some current highlights are mewithoutYou, Muddy Waters, Rev. James Cleveland and For Today.

Books: the Encyclopedia, anything historical, anything philosophical, anything psychological - anything nonfiction, really.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Great Wall, the Appalachian Trail, Copacabana...

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little bit about a lot of things... a bit of music (knowledge, not playing), a bit of baseball, and other little things here and there. I can make a mean stack of pancakes.

I want to learn anything you can teach me, please.

A great environment and good conversation, plus a willing travel buddy.
