CURRENT MISSION

collecting experiences. life is not the material things you acquire but the memories and experiences you acquire. **PLEASE NOTE THAT I CANNOT ACCEPT ANY GUESTS DURING AUSTINS SXSW MUSICAL FESTIVAL IN MID MARCH.**

ABOUT ME

i like to describe myself as nice and normal. very down to earth and go with the flow type of guy. im getting out more and more here lately and traveling to meet old friends and new. i own a small construction company and consult in chemistry on the side. yes yes i know its an odd combination but it affords me to work with both my hands and my my mind. one day i may be hauling a bag of concrete over my shoulder and another day i may be designing a high tech analytical lab.

im not a huge fan of hotels. couchsurfing seems to be a great alternative. if i am traveling and looking for a place, please know that i act no differently than when im in my own home. i behave as i want the guests in my own home to behave.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

once i stowed away in the belly of a bird to see saint didacus. after staying the night, i crossed the sea on a lumbering sea turtle to the isle of pimu. with shelter in hand, we paddled along the coast of shear rock rising from the pacific. there in a cove, we found seals and dolphins. id never seen water so blue. as the sun set, whisps of pink clouds appeared upon the horizon. quiet except the sounds of waves lapping the shore.
