I followed what most people say is the ideal life- get an education, a good career, a house, a family. Now do the same thing for 30 years.

Does this sound familiar to you too? I know this works for some people, but not for me. Stopping before the 30 years part, it was time to go- I cut the cord, sold all my junk, and left for the open world with a backpack. I am out to see the world, and maybe to find a new place to live along the way.

I am open to new experiences and meeting new people along the way, but particularly thoughtful and wise people and experiences that teach and expand the mind. I am a relaxed guy that is drawn to all kinds of people. If you like hot chocolate, long walks, stargazing, candles, chill jazz, life philosophy, I'm your guy.
