ABOUT ME:

I love a good conversation. I am always interested in others' lives and how they choose to best live it. I grew up in the USA. I am now living in Phuket, Thailand, I am a science teacher.

TRAVEL STYLE:

I prefer to travel to the harder to reach places while I am free and able. I like to move slowly when I travel if I have the time. I also want to make new friends from all over the world. I drink occasionally, but have generally left the nightclub scene behind.
