About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the little things

ABOUT ME

Down to earth. Maybe a little crazy. Musician at heart. I love traveling and meeting new people, and I love the outdoors. I'm a sucker for good beer. and I love late nights drinking it. It makes me speak my mind. so be ready :). I love hearing about people's experiences and swapping stories about traveling the world, and I won't get tired of it. Lookin for spontaneous people who want to enjoy life and live it to the fullest. I'm in between adventures, so convince me on where my next shall lead me!

PHILOSOPHY

Music, Movies, and Books

Im an addict of stupid comedies like Ted, the hangover, super bad, knocked up. I am also a fan of action movies, even some with a science fiction twist to them. Gotta love the Rour Hour Series. Beverly Hills Ninja. Son in Law. Remember the Titans. Drum line. I can enjoy anything though.

Music? Mumford and Sons. Rise Against. Blink 182 (yeh, im old school haha). The Beatles. Reel Big Fish. The Eagles. Recently I cannont stop listening to country music (The cowboy hat comes on sometimes <]8] )I also love listening (and playing) to big band jazz or small combo stuff. take me to a jazz pub/bar!

Books? Dan Brown (Angels&Demons, Davinci Code...) is amazing. I love novels like his that have a strong historical fiction tie to them. Decipher by Stel Pavlou. Thriller Novels - James Patterson, etc. Fantasy - Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, etc
