Exploring the far reaches of the human soul. Travel and Transnationalism. Philosophy. Life. Biking around NYC. Reinventing myself. Experience. Communism. Cheesy lines and bad jokes. Death. The rise, and the inevitable fall of World Powers. Walking long distances to places I've never been before. Capitalism. Being absolutely ridiculous. Love. Self improvement.
I'd like to meet:
Beautiful people with good hearts and open minds. People I've lost contact with that I should never have lost contact with. Travelers and vagabonds. Maybe you?
