CURRENT MISSION

To road trip all around the USA with my wife Carmen and my sometimes reliable car, Coliche.

ABOUT ME

I'm a landscape architect from Austin, Texas currently living in Dallas. Things I love are travelling (obviously), backpacking, and new places and new people.

Happiest when trying to break through the language barrier on a long train ride, when on a lengthy hike through the woods, or when walking a new city with the perfect soundtrack in my ears.

I will try any food once, and most of them more than once! I'm the opposite of picky and I'd rather find something new than rely on something I already know. I can be very outgoing, but I'm also content with those times when it's just me and my thoughts.

PHILOSOPHY

I must constantly be pushing on my personal bubble to gain knowledge and experience. Finding new limits to my comfort zone is important.
