Hello! I'm Mike (he/him/his).

I love to travel and meet new people and have new experiences. I am from the United States and have been fortunate enough to travel a little for the last ten years, mainly in Latin America and Europe.

I speak Spanish and Portuguese, and would love to learn a little of another language if you can help me learn!

I am friendly, easy-going, clean, and respectful. I love to talk and get to know people but also understand the value of quiet time and relaxation. I enjoy being outdoors and hiking, exploring and taking pictures with my camera. One of my greatest passions is writing music on guitar and my computer.

My social views are progressive and I am supportive and accepting of LGBTQ+ persons and identities. While I am not religious I have many people close to me who are very religious and I believe it is important to be able to coexist and celebrate our different worldviews. I drink socially (a glass of wine with a nice dinner or special occasion generally) and do not smoke, but don't mind if you do!

I look forward to meeting you! :)
