Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I want to be a traveler, not a "tourist" the difference i think is learning a culture.
ABOUT ME
I am a "Traveler" not a tourist. I want to experience new people, cultures and ways of life while having as much fun as possible.
I'm a fun guy who loves to be out doors. I hunt, fish, enjoy sports and absolutley love to travel. when i travel i don't like to sit on the beach or in my resort. i want to see the country, meet locals and hang out at the places where tourists don't go...
Life is an adventure. People i think too often try to plan everything to perfection so there are never any surprises. sometimes its good just to go with the flow, see what comes up and ride the wave of life.
PHILOSOPHY
I want to experience everything. something i know won't turn out that great, but i really don't want to grow up, be old and have tons of things that i look back on thinking...what if i had tried that. i'd rather look back and say, that wasn't worth it. or damn, wish that had gone better. either way its an experience you can look back on, grow from and learn from.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I went to the Dominican Republic a few years ago, and realized that people there take more pride in everything they do than pretty much all americans. I had my shoes shined by a kid maybe 6 or 7 years old. he only wanted 5 pesos, maybe a dollar. and it was probably the best shine i have ever recieved. i payed him 10 dollars. this kid was working, every day, shining shoes so he could help his family put food on the table. it was this moment that i realized, though i didn't take things for granted, that there are people in this world that really just don't have any option but to work their ass off to be able to eat. what was even better, is it wasn't like the typical homless/poor american begging for money, but rather he decided that he wanted to earn his money. people like that motivate me.
