I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me



Adventurous, Serious, and Fun...My friends call me Riyo and it's pronounced just like the river. A little about me: I am confident, optimistic, motivated, perceptive, realistic, and not so easily rattled. I am rarely at a loss for words, but I always listen first. I am adventure seeking, loves new challenges, and Laotian (yes I am a rare breed ;) ) "Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself." William Faulkner

My Interests

Playing Golf, working out, traveling, extreme adventures (snowboarding, skiing, bungee jumping, white water rafting, etc...), walking on the beach (I love the feel of warm sand on my feet and the shooshing sound of the waves), driving (a few things turn me on more than feeling the curves of the road as I head into the mountains with someone special for a weekend getaway), camping, hiking, fishing, reading and listening to music.

I'd like to meet:

New friends, good friends, friends I haven't talked to in a while, and friends that love to play golf. If you think you're interesting, have a pleasant personality, have a sense of humor, adventurous, sometimes serious, and fun then contact me. Time is of the essence. What are you waiting for?
