About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world (at least the nice parts)

ABOUT ME

I am relatively quite easy going person but I open up once you get to know me. I enjoy staying active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. My boyfriend (yes gay) and I have a small but prosperous construction related business that permits considerable flexibility for travel. The flip side of being entrepreneurs is that we must take separate vacations. Consequently, I am looking for ways to meet people while I travel and host weary travelers to this isolated corner of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

“The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone here and there who thinks and feels with us, and though distant, is close to us in spirit - this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

or maybe,

Never let'm see your ass! (Shirley MaClain "Post cards from the edge")
