I'm always searching for something new: new encounters, new stories, new places, new experiences. I hope that never ends. I try to do as much good as I can, for my family, friends, and complete strangers. I'm not sure if I believe in karma, but whether or not it comes back to me, it's worth putting it out there. I love a challenge, be it physical, mental or emotional. That's something that dictates my travels, forcing me to hike intense trails, learn new things, and wander off the beaten track as frequently as possible. Laughter and art are two of my favorite things, especilly the art of story-telling. I get along with pretty much anyone, and try to see the good in every human being. I have no grand plan for the rest of my life, but I'm hoping it will all work out.
