Semi-retired, waiting on my wife to retire so we can travel the world! I am totally inspired by the young people I know and read about (on-line) traveling the world. I have a new-found, faith, belief, optimism... that the world can truly be changed by travel. From the traveling I've done, the people I've met and the people I've read about we are all so very much alike! I would like to share this optimism, philosophy, etc. first hand. I love nature, water, mountains people and new places. I lean toward exotic, but I'm a bit cautious as well. I enjoy the energy, optimism and life when I'm around young people. I grew up in a rural ranching/farming area that has grown into a suburb. I love to hunt, fish, hike, snorkel and explore.
