About Me

Adventure is not hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain. Adventure is an attitude that we must apply to the day-to-day obstacles in life
The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer.

But it allows me to travel in search of the next moment. Whether it be going out on a 10 day bender with friends or tossing a few back next to a camp fire. I'm down for it all.

My favorite travel memory is sitting near westerkerk in amsterdam sharing a bottle of wine with friends and listening to the church bells ring only to realize these are the same bells Anne Frank heard as she hid. 🥺🥺

Don't worry about a thing. I'm clean and friendly and know how to show respect. Must be the southern upbringing.

"A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles,"
"Travel makes one modest,"
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."
