Places I want to go to:

That's the thing.... when I think about it...there aren't many places I DON'T want to go... I want to go everywhere!

About me:

I live to learn, and that's how I learn how to live.
I'm really relaxed. All I want to do is travel. I'm a sucker for metaphysics and conversations on the existence or non-existence of all being. I like the feeling I get just before I begin to travel somewhere...that pure, excited and uninhibited quivering of the soul as I look forward to my journey onward.

I'm fired up on:

Playing guitar and writing music. Poetry. Laying in a hammock on a bungalow and listening to the rain. Skydiving.

Tunes I rock out to:

Everything. really everything. Except maybe country music.

Travel style:

I like traveling alone, with only what I'm able to carry on my back. But I don't like those huge mountaineering-type backpacks I see a lot of people with. And I hate Lonely Planet. I like to meet other people and listen to what they've done and seen. I like randomly meeting up with another traveler, and end up traveling with them for awhile.

Quote:

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."

"Veni, Vidi, Amavi"

Favorite artist(s):

Steel Pulse, Bob Marley and The Wailers

Favorite books:

Siddhartha, The Book(Alan Watts), In and Of,Dubliners, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Klingsor's Last Summer

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

Everybody!

I want to make a difference by:

Sharing anything I have to offer to world, whether it be through a smile, or music, I just want find my own peace and help others find their own peace along the way.

Languages spoken, other than English:

Thai, Laos, Spanish

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

I bathed in the Mekong River on the border between Thailand and Laos, along with lots of locals from the nearby village, and I was the only foreigner. It was just a very authentic cultural experience.
Also, living in a village in the rural northeast of Thailand as a volunteer English teacher...it was about as immersed as I felt I could get.

Why I travel:

For the journey. It's not so much where I go and when I get there that matters...it's about the people, the languages, and whole array of new experiences that I come across on my way. I love the process of going, of moving. Sitting in an airport and waiting for my plane to somewhere else. Or riding on a train and looking out at the fleeting landscapes as the train rolls on. Just the freedom to choose where I want to go, when I want to eat, and what I want to do, is very addicting.
Overall, it's the only thing in life I feel absolutely enamored by,it's the one thing I absolutely love to do.
Now... if I could just find a job that pays me to travel....

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

On top of a mountain in Seward, Alaska, overlooking the ocean and peaks of the mouintain range

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

On "Dogwood" at Warren- Wilson College, especially after having ingested special fungus

Before I die I'd like to:

Base jump off of a high cliff with one of those squirrel suits on.
Walk across America, from coast to coast.
Walk across a bunch of different countries.
Never settle down...
