CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I have been traveling since December 08. Right now, I am in San Gil, Colombia. I love Colombia and especially San Gil!!!!!! I came for 3 days and just can't seem to leave and I should be here until January 2010. I am completely addicted to rafting. The class 5 rivers here are the best adrenaline rush you can have!

I am looking for all sorts of adventures and people to accompany me. I am a very independent traveler... I don't do what ever the Lonely Planet tells me to ;). I am outgoing and am very open to new experiences, cultures and people.

PHILOSOPHY

"I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different." -K. Vonnegut
