CURRENT MISSION

In Europe for 7 weeks- friends, sites, great conversations, relax

ABOUT ME

I am a person who is easy going, friendly and looking for humor in just about anything. I love adventures and physical activity- hiking, dancing, skiing, music, travel, etc. I play trumpet in an 11 piece brass band in the states and love to play eastern European and New Orleans brass band music. I always travel with my trumpet (and I always ask permission to play).

PHILOSOPHY

I live and therefore I am! (OK- borrowed)
I'm kind of a buddhist- meditate, suffer, choose happiness, balance and joy most of the time. Seek company of those that also are searching for these more positive things.
