Some people have done truly amazing things...I don't really think anything I have done can be described that way...I still have a few years left, though!

I am always looking to learn more about the culture from where other people come from, or from where they have traveled. I also enjoy learning about their countries/regional history, and cuisine. Overall, I like to share and talk about past experiences and future goals!

I am always willing to share my past travel experiences and talk about our common interests with my hosts. I love learning about new stuff, so am always eager to listen to others speak about where they went and what they did/do.

When traveling, one of the things I enjoy the most is eating local dishes and sampling the local cuisine as much as possible. I have eaten pretty much everything, and am always interested in trying something different! I also enjoy running/trail running. My last ultra-marathon was in 2015...in 2016 I am taking things easier, but still run a few times every week. I am also a huge history fan, and enjoy visiting museums and historical sites wherever I travel. I never say no to a good beer and a glass of wine either.
