CURRENT MISSION

Survive my current midlife crisis :) Took a year long sabbatical. Sold my motorcycle & car. Stored all my stuff. Pack my backpack & left the the Americas. Who knows what will be next.

ABOUT ME

I am 31 years old and have sold most of my possessions to enable myself to travel for a year. I am easy going, get along with a wide variety of people and have developed a knack for randomly meeting people. I have a broad spectrum of interests, but the most prominent while travelling is learning the ways of different cultures.

I enjoy social events, but unfortunately I did not get "the party gene." I can do one big night...then I'm out. I prefer a chilled atmosphere with good company. Can do anything from lighthearted to deep philosophical discussions. It really depends on my mood and who I'm with.

PHILOSOPHY

Pearls of wisdom are found everywhere. Listen to people before you decide to accept or dismiss their opinion.
