I have a few great travel stories, but I'd rather hear your stories first. : ) At home, I am the director and founder of a single day, 175 mile cycling race benefiting the Special Olympics, in honor of my older brother with Down Syndrome. Also, I twice volunteered to set up the facilities for the Experimental Aircraft Association's Gathering of Eagle's dinner, which raises over $2,000,000 U.S.D. in a single evening.

Anyone can share travel stories, but I can give you HUNDREDS of bland science fiction reviews. I can ALSO ruin the plots! Or I could cook a fancy Grilled Cheese Sandwich :)

I am a PADI certified open-water scuba diver. I have over 60 hours of flight experience as a student pilot. I also have a few research hobbies, mostly related to homesteading and efficient building design. I look forward to any opportunity to improve my skill set and life's story in some way, regardless of that opportunity's location or difficulty. Skills I wish to learn include cooking, horseback riding, surfing, sailing, programming, aquaoponics, land/ecology management, and martial arts. I am also drug free thanks to my job, though I hold no judgement over people who like that stuff. I do (occasionally) drink alcohol, but that depends upon the wishes of my host.
