About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Less Planning = More Adventure

ABOUT ME

I spent 20 years fixing cars and not surprisingly got sick of it. I decided to pack it all in and ride my motorbike from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia to Alaska in 2.5 months in 2010 . I enjoyed it so much I am back to see more sights in North America. In September (2011) I also plan to ship out to Australia were I will tour some more and possibly stay. I went back to S America in 2014 and continued once again down to Ushuaia. I trained in Martial Arts for 20 years, taught Wing Tsun Kung Fu for 5 years. Used to Surf (wasn't any good) , used to Snowboard (was OK). Ridden my Motorbike the length of the Pan American Hwy twice. Ridden into the Arctic Circle and dipped my feet into the Arctic Ocean. I love Adventure riding (as you can probably tell ) and am planning my next tour (possibly round the world). I never have a destination.....that way I can't get lost.

PHILOSOPHY

-Ferris Bueller was right, "life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it".
-Everyday's a school day.
-I never have a destination...that way, I can't get lost.
