ABOUT ME
TRAVELER......Basing out of Tland until I recover from an accident .
Looking for FUN, ACTION & ADV. Enjoy exploring new places, cultures and people. Tis cool helping out beginners in every way.
I base out of Chon Buri beaches for the fresh ocean "AIR"
Very quite room for being in the middle of everything & SAFE (thai guys aren't even allowed in the building!) It has everything. Western convienences, infrastructure, proximities , beaches, gyms, nightlife, good restaurants & street food. WIFI, LL, CABLE, A/C, 44' BIG SCREEN & HDMI. & Awesome hallway fresh "AIR" breeze.
Comfortable to visit, but it's a bit too touristy 4me to stay for very long. I'm usually there about 6 months out of every year. The other 6 months its either rented, empty or used by friends.
I take off every couple of months for a few months. Usually in S.E.A.
Love to meet like minded TRAVELERS from all over the world.
Recently, a tourist asked me on my last trip on what was once a beautiful unspoiled island in Laos. (now inundated with tourists)
Whats the difference between a traveler and a tourist? I glibly replied, to be perfectly honest.....
A TRAVELER KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE!
WE ARE A DYING BREED!
PHILOSOPHY
Do onto others as u would have them do onto you

SURF & HOST
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've hosted 4 Chinese girls, 1 Russian girl & 4 Westerners.
1 German guy, 1 Spanish girl, 1 American girl & 1 girl from Norway..
It seems to me. The CHINESE subscribe to my philosophy more than he Westerners do, so far.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hmmmmm, lets see....
I'm the President of a memorial KJO scholarship fund that Iformed and ran for & with my family for the past 22yrs since my brothers fatal car crash. We just gave out another 3 scholarships in June.
ROUGH 2yr stretch......
CONCUSSIONS
Http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9634991/ziggy-ansah-detroit-lions-diagnosed-concussion....Last week I survived MY lucky 13th by getting knocked out by a falling tree in a storm while leaving the beach with a filipina friend. My neck & back injuries r getting better every day!
SURVIVED.... I ONLY take ignorant motor taxis when I absolutley must. With too much luggage or distance to walk to bus stations. Or short on time.
I took one in a hurry and didn't take the time to pick out a preferred moto. He slammed us into a truck 2yrs on the way too the bus station. I woke up in the hospital & I just starting walking again last month.
FRONTIER TRAVELING....NO LIGHTS, NO CLUES NO RULES/LAWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There were NO TOURISTS & Everything was 25cents! lol.
There were some real western frontiers, characters, freaks & travel was rough, DANGEROUS and off the hook exciting/unbelievable in some places.
STILL have not been successfully robbed to this day!
SKYDIVING accident. The ground crew incopentantly/inadvertantly guided me into a 100ft pine tree forest. I fell thru the 100ft pine trees like Rambo in first blood.
Have many, many, rad stories to......
