NOT IN SVALBARD! IN BERLIN AREA

I am Ranger, i am, i am. Ranger i am, i am :)
howdy. i'm a traveler, hell bent on making my way in the world, at the cost of my temporary comfort. i'm a native Californian, raised in Colorado, who then traveled around the US, moving from state to state, town to town, before moving back to Cali, only to come to the realization that I really didn't feel at home in The States.
so I left, with the intention of finding a new home, somewhere out there in this big ass world. Little did I know that the home I would find, my real home, is everywhere I am, AKA on the road. I never really felt comfortable staying in one place for too long, so i feel the need to move on from time to time.
traveling is in my blood. i come from a family of travelers and/or re-locators. my brothers live in other countries and now it's my turn to find my place in the world.
i am/have-been/will-be-again a hitchhiker/traveler/carpenter/welder/engine builder/wine lover/mountain lover/beach lover/fun lover/etc. i like puppies and rainbows and long walks on the beach and all that happy, fluffy shit. i love wine (as previously mentioned) so my favorite activities usually involve grabbing a (cheap) bottle (or few) and hanging out with people, as i am usually pretty broke, so i can't do things like "go out" to bars and restaurants, but i'm also not unable to provide for myself. so don't worry, i can scrape together enough to feed myself. i am actually a pretty decent cook though, but cannot usually afford the ingredients it takes to make the good stuff, but if you feel like purchasing the goods, i would love to make us something tasty and that you have probably never had before. just a thought.
also, I have been hitchhiking around the EurRussAsian major land mass for the past decade, as well as some time in Australia and New Zealand and i have some interesting stories to tell, if you're interested, but i always love to hear interesting stories from others as well, so it would be great to regale each other with tales of our various travels and life experiences.
