Hi , Well ... I'm 24 years alive , I've been traveling since I was 19 I guess , I was raised very well and have a absolutely wonderful family that I am very grateful for . I'm more outspoken then I'd really care to be but still very understanding and always willing to see things from a new perspective . I ache for experience , it plagues me . I have this insatiable idea that I am wasting my life if I'm not in transit , if I'm not experiencing something new . Uh , I dig bluegrass the mandolin and nature ... My hairs always dirty My minds always racin And my feet are on the move
