CURRENT MISSION

I have no clue!

ABOUT ME

My name is Doug, and I have lived in Kansas City my entire life. I remember being filled with joy in my youth as my mother drove us around the United States to a different location each year on our annual vacation. Those trips instilled in me a desire to see new places.

In my adult life, however, I have been on only a handful of similar road trips. Other things have gotten in my way. I have made excuses to not get out and seek adventure. I am ready now to get past all that and really enjoy life. I want to travel the world, meet all kinds of people, and see all kinds of things.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is that you can do anything you want if you want it bad enough. The tricky part is not compromising yourself, and not being scared to do it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving with my friend to Las Vegas from Kansas City, we had to stop about 50 times to just stare in awe at the magnificent geological features before us: the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado National Monument, the San Rafael Swell. It was beyond amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

All I can offer are my thoughts and ideas, and perhaps some interesting stories. I am interested in hearing the same from other people.
