ABOUT ME

I'm constantly moving, even when I'm not. I love adventure and cooking, luckily the two often come hand in hand. I love good books, good people and good challenges along the way. I want to do everything! Which is a problem because it makes it really hard for me to focus but I have a good time anyway. I love animals of all kinds and all though at the moment I'm a vegetarian I love food of all kinds too. I'm a rover and a poet. A singer, a dreamer and a dancer. I'm up and down and up again before I even know what happened sometimes. I don't care much for plans because the always seem to get in the way and I usually end up just going and seeing what happens. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not but it is always and adventure and if I can get a good story out of it, all the better. I'm really interested in being a travel writer although I haven't figured out where to start yet. I have a wonderful girlfriend who is just as hard to pin down as I am and is actually studying art in Ghana right now, go figure. I only speak one language at the moment and I speak it poorly but I love words of all kinds and would love to learn another language if I could ever remember how to speak them. Like I said, I'm a rover so I try to get from here to there anyway that I can. So far I've had some good hitchhiking experiences and am always looking for more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent most of November of last year biking the American west coast. It was crazy! I covered 1000 miles in 15 days(stopped to take some breaks in between but there were 15 days of riding). I had an amazing time and saw some amazing things along the way, though next time I'm bringing a friend!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn anything that people are willing to teach me. All the odds and ends as well as the classics.

I can teach little, but with great zest.
