CURRENT MISSION

To host some of you travelers in beautiful northern California.

ABOUT ME

Just a carefree guy from Midwest America. I have a big head(literally) which is good when your open minded. You seem to fit more inside. Try and exercise my smile all day long. For my smile has gotten me through many hard times. Wielding a positive attitude is the the strongest weapons on this planet.
Oh, and let me mention that I studied French, Spanish, and German for a few years each and beginner is an overstatement.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn about others with your ears not your eyes. I know it is impossible to put non-verbal communication aside. it dictates our fist judgment about someone no matter what you say, but i admire those who can use conversation to paint a new picture on top of what your eyes see.
