I like to travel the world and learn new things about different cultures. I recently married a wonderful German woman, who has helped me become an even better person while showing me the world.

I've traveled the majority of the United States while living in my diesel Chevy van. I am now beginning to travel the world. I prefer to really get to know the places I visit by meeting the locals and helping support their ecosystem and culture, rather than the tourism industry.

I recently finished a two year degree in renewable energy and sustainable technology, in Northern California, and learned many trades and skills there and throughout life to become a more helpful human. :)

Most recently lived in New Zealand for a year while working in tourism and hospitality /hotel maintenance.
