About me:

I recently graduated from college. I am working my first "real" job (which I strongly dislike), I am currently saving up and planning a 4 week backpacking trip to Europe with a small group of friends for spring of 2009 (i know, its a ways away). I enjoy all sports, hanging out with friends, going out, movies, music, seeing new things and meeting new people. I have a good sense of humor and I'm just an honest, decent guy :)

I'm fired up on:

Music... play guitar and love listening and playing all music.
Travel.. I wanna see EVERYTHING the world has to offer, I dont wanna miss out on ANYTHING.
Friends... I have a very close knit group of friends i love to death.
Learning.. I constantly find myself being sucked in to any/all programs on Discovery, History or any of the learning channels. I am currently in the process of teaching myself German, and soon after I pick up on it, I will start teaching myself Italian as well...

Tunes I rock out to:

Linkin Park, Wolfmother, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Cash, All-American Rejects, Foo Fighters, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Atreu... my list is seriously never ending. I love ALL types of music that take talent, and metal effort to create. I listen to rock, rap, r&b, country, soul, blues, jazz... I love music.

Travel style:

I like to travel with a few close friends... a general idea of what we want to see and where we want to go... while still be able to go off on a whim and experience something that we never expected. A combination of being Guided by the seat of your pants! haha

Quote:

Demand the most from your life. Never be satisfied. Always want more, want to see more, want to do more. Never settle. Regret what you've DONE, but never what you WANTED to do. - - - - me

Sports I do:

Golf, baseball, hockey, soccer, football, basketball, wakeborad, ski, snowboard.... anythign to stay active :)

Favorite books:

"Lullabye"... "Fight Club"

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

Good people, fun people

I want to make a difference by:

Living my life so that everyone I meet can take something away from me. Whether it be good or bad. I want to leave marks on the people I meet, and I want them to leave an everlasting mark on me. Thats why meeting new people is always so exciting... its always an adventure :)

Languages spoken, other than English:

Learning German, and eventually Italian

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

When I stayed with a host family in Switzerland in a small house at the foot of the Alps. They had a hobby farm and a quaint little house. Spending the days hiking and helping with the animals and garden and nights playing games. Or else when i went to the HuafbrauHaus and listened to a Polka band in Leiderhosen, and authentic German food, German beer, German people.

Why I travel:

To learn. To see and experience all the world has to off. To not miss out on ANYTHING.

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

Sitting on the Galoppogos Islands...on the beach

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

On a boat in the Great Barrier Reef after a long afternoon of scuba diving.

Before I die I'd like to:

Set foot on every continent. Meet as many people and experience as many things as I can. I want to look back and not be able to pick a "favorite memory", I want good friends to enjoy all the life throws at me. I want to never regret something I DIDN'T do...

Let's collaborate:

I am looking to meet some cool people who might be traveling to where I am traveling at around the same time.... Basically just good people.

So... I don't know how many of you have ever heard the saying....

"The best conversation you'll ever have, is going to be with a complete stranger"When I heard it again this weekend... It really interested me.... So I'm doing a little experiment. Anyone who is as curious as me... shoot me a message...

Why Travel...

By nickahlm | Location: United States | 12/18/07 | Pics: 1

Why do I travel?
Why do I have these feeling inside that wants me to see as many things the world has to offer as possible!?
I'm sitting in my cubicle (not fun...) at work, and I started thinking to myself... why do I want to travel so badly?
Then I realized something.
Why not?!
The world is...
