I am here for Friends

About Me

I love to travel! So far I've been to Italy (Rome, Venice, Florence), Germany (Munich, Berlin, Heidelberg), Litchenstein, Austria (Vienna, Salzberg) Switzerland (Lucerne), Czech Republic (Prague), Netherlands (Amsterdam), Mexico City, most of Thailand (Bangkok and south), Ireland, London, Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey. I need more time and money to make it to Africa.My other love is scuba diving. Seeing sharks, turtles, schools of fish, eels, and all types of coral in Thailand was awesome! Diving there just two weeks after the tsunami was amazing. My dive master (Gandolf) in Turkey was a riot as he ate little critters off the ocean floor.Rafting and camping are great with the right people. Nothing beats floating down a lazy river with a beer in your hand.So dating worked out well and now we are engaged and hoping to marry Autumn 2007. His surprise proposal in Bulgaria was super sweet!
