ABOUT ME

I like to travel and learn new languages and meet people from different backgrounds, experiences, etc.

I really enjoy a good laugh over a couple of drinks. If you like dry humor, I'm your guy! If you have any good American jokes bring them my way. I'm a firm believer that CS is more than just a free nights sleep. I really enjoy new experiences with people and having a good time.

Currently traveling Amsterdam until June 3. Let me know if you're in town and want to meet for a drink.

PHILOSOPHY

"It doesn't matter what cards you're dealt.....it matters how you play them."

And then of course......there was Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro, February 2009.....greatest week of my life.
