CURRENT MISSION Travel around the world and live life to the MAX ABOUT ME I love globetrotting! I have traveled extensively worldwide, throughout every continent except Antarctica. I was born and raised in Hong Kong, lived in Chicago, then San Diego, then Seattle and back to San Diego! Check out my round-the-world trip travel blog and photos: Blog-- http://travelrick.blogspot.com/ Photos-- http://picasaweb.google.com/rickythetraveler http://picasaweb.google.com/rickythetraveler2 PHILOSOPHY I try to live everyday as if it is the last. Not to sound morbid, but I try to immerse myself in many different activities. You only get one chance to live, so you might as well do everything possible.
