My lifestyle is based on enjoying the freedom to spend my time as I see fit each day. The things I currently value the most in life are the friendships that I make and the experiences I have had and shared with others.
Some of the following are activities and experiences that have helped me achieve the above:
continuing education- foreign language, real estate investment, podcasts,yoga, physical fitness, reading, film and outdoor skills.
international and domestic long term travel- all over the USA, Argentina, Thailand, Singapore, Bali, Kuala Lumpur, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Spain, Austria, Italy, Uruguay, Germany, Czech Republic, New Zealand, Switzerland, French Polynesia, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland and the Netherlands. I walked the Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain, a 500 mile trail across the country - one of the best travel experiences I have ever had.
outdoor activities/fitness - backpacking, camping, crossfit, hiking,snowboarding,surfing,scuba,skateboarding,biking​
volunteer activities - after school enrichment and tutoring programs for kids, mentoring, home building with Habitat for Humanity and environmental conservation projects
​I enjoy positively affecting another person's day. The simple ways are my favorite, whether it be a sincere compliment or just sharing a great laugh,story or meal. I love being around people who are excited about anything in their life. As far as socializing goes I prefer a house or dinner party over a bar or club.
I consider travel the best ongoing educational device. I want learn about other individuals countries and make new friends!
