ABOUT ME

Im a big guy. Im sure its the first thing you will notice about me. Im 6'4" 191cm and i have a big beard. This is great in many ways for a traveler as I am not messed with most places. But it does have its drawbacks in that many people assume Im mean or violent. Im not. Unless you count big hugs which I have been known to give.
I think it's best to say I have an eclectic list of likes. I'm an artist at heart and I love making things and drawing when I have the time. I like music and I love to dance. Rare in big men I hear. I can drink when I want to but I don't very often. I'm into seeing museums and all the sites a place has but just as excited for the things you could never see unless you knew someone from that city.
My favorite pieces of art are the David and the pieta. It is some of the only work that I think can only truly be seen in person. 2d cannot speak the magnificence of the living rock right in front of you.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to always be changing I think that is why I have facial hair because it affords a simple way to always change my appearance. More than just physically though I like to always be growing and evolving. I think traveling is one of the quickest ways to broaden your mind.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot of fantasy novels. David Gemmell, Scott lynch, Tolkien, Neil Gaiman to name a few.

Metallica rock hip hop and music to dance to. I'm not too picky on music as long as it fits the mood of the night and the location.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing mount fuji and seeing the sunrise was an experience I will never forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach skating on ice or on wheels.
