About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel the world, meet cultures, see nature and history, float on water, and spread the sport of dart

ABOUT ME

In short, I love it all. Here's a brief list: travel, nature, cultures, history, rivers, music, darts, art, sport, and meeting people from other places and to learn the way they live. Of course, my heroes are Gandhi and MLK Jr. Although I'm agnostic at heart, I like karma and buddhism, and I figure Jesus was probably a real nice person.

PHILOSOPHY

I have a few sayings:
Don't count your blessings, make your blessing count
When I die, I want to be a millionaire of memories.
One's life savings should be spent on life.
