Culture shock. Extended vacations in far away places. Punk and metal concerts. People watching. Hanging at the library. Volunteering with 3rd World Orphans whenever I get the chance. I spend most of my spare time on a surfboard however, and if the wind is onshore I play golf and spear fish.
Friendly, interesting, like minded people. Stunning looks would be nice also. If you can shape surfboards we should be friends.
