CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible! To see places as they really are and meet new people along the way. Life is too short to not do what we love and I'm going exactly that.

ABOUT ME

I lived in Knoxville all my life and unlike most people in that area realized early on that there is much to see in the world. I have just moved to the Nashville area for a job. I have been fortunate enough to see 63 nations in my 27 years. That equates to 429,428 miles flown! I got bored one day lol. I love to share my experiences with anyone who will listen. I love to hear others experiences and I hope to learn from them. I want to meet people from all over the world. Any people any age, gender, creed, orientation any people who are as happy as myself to be alive and experiencing the world.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once and to think that I didn't make the most of it would mean I failed at it. Life is great get out there and enjoy it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I majored in History and Geography at the University of Tennessee. I'm a weather fanatic I look at computer models 4 or more times a day just for fun! lol I know I'm lame. I studied climate change in Grad school. I know a lot about history, obviously, pre reformation and ancientt interests me the most. I worked for an airline for 3 years and love it when people try to explain to me how airlines work. I ski, hike, run and love to party! I love nature TV shows and documentaries. I think shows like “American Idol” and “So you think you can dance” are making our nation indigent as a hole.
