I thrive on adventure and love to make big, open ended plans. I learn though engaging new people and old friends alike in conversation, often with a coffee or a beer. Teach me something new, especially in a niche where I am unfamilar! I love seeing places not as a tourist but through the eyes of the residents - neighborhoods, streets, coffee shops, gyms, community events.

I’ll always keep myself entertained but equally love spending time with new friends.
