I'm fired up on:

Hiking, exploring, discovering and appreciating untouched scenery, soccer, eating different foods and drinking wine, good music, drums, wide-open spaces, meeting people with similar interests-especially people from different cultures, trying to learn Spanish

Tunes I rock out to:

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mana, Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Lynard Skynard,

Travel style:

Depends. Sometimes I enjoy being solo, but also have fun in a small group. I like to have a vague plan when starting out, but like changing those plans even more.

Sports I do:

Soccer, tennis, basketball, water sports

Favorite books:

1984, The Power of One, Scar Tissue, Utopia Unarmed, The Great Unraveling

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

Anyone who opens me up to different ideas, outlooks, and interests that I enjoy spending my time with.

I want to make a difference by:

Doing the same for others

Languages spoken, other than English:

Spanish

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

Learning to play the flamenco drum and playing along with locals from Algamitas (tiny village in Andalucia) as they sang and played flamenco music until sunrise.

Why I travel:

Because there is no limit to the number of new and different places to see, people to meet, and ways in which people live. The more I travel, the greater my perspective is on how others live, and this helps me see the positives and negatives in how I live me life in order to improve who I am and find out what I want in life.

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

From the highest place I can find

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

On a beach somewhere with a rum and coke in hand

Before I die I'd like to:

Too many to list

Nice pics, man. Looks like a rowdy game en la bombonera. Boca games were one of my favorite parts of BA -- you should check out Christian Denes' article in the SPORT section and his blog about the Junior's new coach.
