One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was kissed by Tori Amos and she told me she loved me and given vip tickets to her sold out show.kind of longer story than that.I have lots of strange stories that are better to be told in person about.Short story is I got stabbed by a large sting ray in costa rica last day of my trip while being a person DEATHLY afraid of sharks while surfing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to be on the go and need to have a person or persons to go and be involved in my plans.also to add if a plan seems active and a good time I am open for things people want to do but can't find a person to do it with.
