Interests
I love traveling and taking in new cultures and people. Some of my most memorable experiences traveling have often been by myself. It gives me time to reflect, enjoy the scenery and get some good thinking done. Traveling is perhaps one my life obsessions. We only have a limited time on this planet and in my own way, I want to use it to see as much of the world as I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was in Amsterdam, I met a 24 year old guy who left Sweden when he was 19 and had been traveling the world ever since. At 24 he made me realize I had a LOT of living to catch up on.
I went skydiving in Long Island a few years back and on the free fall, I dislocated my arm. As soon as the parachute came flying out, I frantically tried to relocate my arm into the socket and failed miserably. I told myself, the hell with it and tucked my arm back in and enjoyed the view falling back to earth.
On a visit to Capetown our plans to go diving with sharks in a cage were spoiled by Mother Nature the night before. We opted to take a drive around the Cape. I pulled over at the side of a gorgeous view and spent the next few hours staring at the ocean and determining what animals the clouds looked like. One of the best days ever.
Oh yeah did I mention I was in the stands when Wayne Rooney scored the bicycle kick against Manchester City and won the derby?!
