About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel

ABOUT ME

I am now in Western New York (WNY), having relocated from San Francisco earlier in Spring 2016 - I should be back home in Rota by October 2018

Very familiar with SW Andalucia Spain; lived 14 years in the Cadiz province so if you have any questions..... Have lived in Eugene briefly in 2007 and when in SF am residing with family. I travel regularly to Rota from the USA for a few months in my apartment.

Rota: I can sometimes host someone on a very limited basis (work and home repairs/obras) for a few days in Spain while home. Sorry NO smokers. No car but I can show around guests or meet up with others visiting to show them the area: Cadiz and Sevilla being the need-to-SEE spots.

SEE my pictures here for spots of interest in SF and in Rota!

Travel plans one day soon: France, UK, Scotland, Finland, Russia, Slovenia and a few other million countries, and Mars.

Love to travel, cook (spanish, chinese & american), enjoy moderate wine-drinking, writing and poetry, and photography! My fotos, including pixs from Spain are viewable at http://www.fototaker.net

NOTE: Wifi access in Rota is very iffy. If you contact me thru CS it'll take me some while to remember my password, so email me directly using fototaker at gmail please!!! When in Rota I always hope to get online at least once daily. Saludos!!

PHILOSOPHY

We are all part of one cycle; once touched, pass on to the next person in the cycle. Be honest and sincere; if you say one thing, follow thru. Don't play headgames and be an idiot by doing something else contary... it doesn't make you look good. Also if you say you would like to meet, then do so. If you don't, then say NO; please don't play head games. I enjoy showing people around wherever I am. It's just not fun waiting somewhere for someone who isn't showing up, or VERY late.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen the most amazing trees, solitary upon a hill. I have observed the most beautYful storm clouds from a boat upon the sea... my eyes are the most simple camera and has seen things that my camera has never seen nor captured.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been helped by many people in many countries. I was once a teen in an european country; I had just been ejected from the train because of passport problems and I didn't speak the language nor did I have any money; a man who spoke english befriended me for a few minutes and gave me money to get back to where I started. I asked for his address so I could repay him - he told me: I want you to repay me by extending yourself to others - that way you will repay me many times over. And I am so happy to say that I have honored his reply many times since then... this is the cycle I refer to above.
