CURRENT MISSION

Buy a sailboat and quit my job!

ABOUT ME

I'm a 31 years old, from Illinois. Just like probably everyone on here, I love to learn about other cultures, and I get along with pretty much everyone. I'm the kind of guy who will go see the historical cultural sites during the day, and hit up the town watering hole to meet with locals at night. Traveling is my life passion! I want to visit as many countries as I can in my lifetime, and get a feel for how people live. As long as you can find cheap travel and cheap lodging, travel anywhere is possible. Just make some time, and get off your butt and go. So far this site has brought me some of my greatest travel experience. I find myself penny pinching so I can go off and surf the next time I can get away.

I own a travel/sailing/party company called The BucketLust (www.thebucketlust.org) which allows me to travel for work to some of the coolest places on earth!

PHILOSOPHY

"I'll sleep when I'm dead"

I'm pretty much game for anything. The more random the better because it makes for a great story to tell.

Insegna, impara, condividi

Be flexible with travel, and willing to get up and move on a moments notice. Sleeping on a hard cold surface isn't as bad as it sounds
