I am able to live out a week or even a month in the shoes of a "local".

Why I travel:

To experience, to learn, and to share.

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

Waking up outdoors, having fallen asleep looking at the stars.

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

Everyplace is unique, but I find that they are best just after a thunderstorm.

Before I die I'd like to:

do a lot more than what I have done with my life so far.

Let's collaborate:

I'm looking to meet people around the world who wouldn't mind filling me in on some of the hidden secrets of the areas that they live in. Hopefully I'll get around to visiting it all.
