I am from Boca Raton, Florida, born and raised. I am a photographer, a handyman, a SCUBA diver, an Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran, a traveler, so I guess I am mostly an adventurer. I've been many places, but none other will do for me than life on the road. The things one gains on their journey are in no other way attainable.

My time is my most valuable possession and it is not for sale. I am on a journey...perhaps, a sojourn. Stay for a bit, but always go...

I do life spontaneously; without a plan, and on a whim. For me, it is the only way to do it. No plans, only good intentions without expectations because there will be bumps in the road. I'm curious and I question everything.

My favorite quotes on travel:
"Wherever you go, go with all your heart." - Confucius
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of man and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's life." - Mark Twain
"The world is a book and those who do not travel only read one page." - Augustine of Hippo
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Lao Tzu

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to experience the everyday life of local peoples and share stories, ideas, and knowledge with them. CouchSurfing is definitely the best and the easiest way to truly experience another culture with someone who is willing to share it.

My favorite Mark Twain quote:
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness and it is on these accounts that many of our people need it sorely. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of man and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime"

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Rock, grunge, metal, and classical music. Books? I prefer reference because life and science are far more interesting than fiction. I also don't watch movies or television, There's a million better ways to my spend time. I also stay away from the news. It's depressing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Euro trip I went on in 2017 with nothing but a backpack and a smile on my face. I had one change of clothes in the bag on my back. I have traveled to Costa Rica, Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Germany, Sweden, Finland., Netherlands, France, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Estonia...and that year I managed to make it all the way up to the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi, Finland.

Teach, Learn, Share
