I am an avid cyclist so will be traveling on my bike when I can. I travel 6 months in the US and 6 months in foreign lands. I still have many places to see and many people to meet. I am in no hurry to see all of the world, I want to see every piece and give it my full attention while I am there. While in Costa Rica in June 2018; I learned to surf and love it. Have surfed on the east and west coast of the US, Vietnam ,Sri Lanka,Indonesia and Mexico. Looking for more good times as I improve. For 2022 I started the year off skiing in the US, then surfing in mexico and visiting costa rica and nicaragua. I took my bicycle to france for the summer to explore the schengen area. Starting in Bordeaux, I visited 13 countries on my bike. Now it is late summer 2023 and I am riding my motorcycle up to the PNW and crossing off Washington and Oregon as the last two states to visit to complete the lower 48, I hope to meet some cool people along the way. Finished up 2023 visiting Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. 2024 is here and planning on visiting London on my way to Greece to sail around the islands.
