Usually solo traveler. No frills required. I am a collector of experiences. Whether they are "good" or "bad" is not how I choose to judge things; I prefer to look at how much perspective and insight I've gained into the world and people in it. I'm a bit of an introvert so I'm a better listener than talker, but, like most introverts, if we are talking about something really interesting to me I can go on forever. I'm a vegetarian and an environmentalist. Strong proponent of equal rights. I love reading, photography, music, film, beer, and being outdoors.
