Please note that I can only host one person at a time; my home is small. I have this information in the "My Home" area of my profile but this section seems to be not read too often. Thank you,

CURRENT MISSION

attempting to write online profile statements that are not completely stupid :)

ABOUT ME

I've been lucky enough to travel since I was a boy, thanks to my parents. I went on many trips while young, and I've not stopped since. I love to see new places, learn new things and enjoy life. I worked as a travel agent and now work as a professional photographer; I keep busy! I try to be a caring and understanding person. Making new friends is something I really appreciate in life. Learning foreign languages is something I especially like to do as well.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a big believer in Karma...more specifically - you get what you give. Treat others well and be a kind person, and good things happen to you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I think of amazing things I've seen or done, it's hard for me not to write too much. I've been very fortunate to see many great places and do many terrific things, especially while traveling. Seeing beautiful buildings and landscapes, and wonderfully friendly and happy people in Italy is right near or at the top of the list. Also, I have loved seeing many interesting and beautiful places in Germany. Also on the list are Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna..I really could go on and on. When it comes down to it though, I am just as happy, if not more so, to find the beauty/interest in terrific everyday things, rather than only the ones that leave one awestruck.
