as of august 2016:

The wife (karen-no CS profile) and I are now in Seattle after coming back home from our Asia adventure of 1.5 years!

We've spent 6 months traveling through the rest of Japan/New Zealand, Philippines, Canada, and a cross country road trip in the States from Florida all the way to Seattle!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1
Pula Dayang, Malaysia-first time diving. from the first moment i jumped into the abyess to the first breath i took underwater, i knew i was hooked and it was a feeling like you just discovered that the color of blue is REALLY BLUE(some of you may understand what this means)
2
Pepperall, MA USA -first time sky diving. making a conscious decision to jump out of plane at 10k feet above the ground in a perfectly safe and functioning plane. one of the most insane things ive done, and the most unnatural at the same time....natural(again some of you may understand what this means :p)
3
Taos New Mexico USA-going down a black diamond at 13k ft that went for miles. 28 min trail of just powder. with scenery that is breath taking, you feel like a spec of sand compared to everything. feeling at one with the world and calm admiring the beauty all the while strapped to a piece of wood shredding down the slopes. pure bliss
