ABOUT ME

24 years on earth and counting. college graduate english teacher durring the day party planner by night. Full time traveler and on my bike anytime in between. My favorite thing to do in life is meet interesting people over a coffee or a few drinks with good bass in the background. I'm open minded but have very well formed opinions. I always try to connect with the music in the area that i'm in. When it comes to my kind of people I'm a social chameleon, I like hanging with anybody, from athletes to artists as long as you're cool.Friend me on facebook...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most incredible things I have ever done have all involved the interesting people that i've met through travel. They have taught me how to see the world from a whole new perspective. Things I've done by myself: backpacked the rocky mountains for 14 days without contact to the outside world. I've seen Trappist monks brew beer in an Abbey in Holland. Partied for 24 hours straight in Spain. I've swam 10 miles in one day and was an All American swimmer in college. I've slept in a park and went two days without eating anything when i ran out of money in Europe. And i've played guitar on the Medieval streets of León so i could have a meal.
