About Me

I enjoy traveling for the adventure of it and laying low when I get there. I am a gear snob. Some see this as extravagant or materialistic. It is part of me and what makes sense.I love motorcycles and bicycles. It's part of my core in some ways. I like the simplicity, they feel manageable to me is some way. Just call it my shtick. My partner thinks I have too many bicycles and I just don't understand how that is possible.I love beer. I am a bit of a snob about it. None of this pale see through crap you can get just about anyware. If it is see though, it had better be hoppie, if it is dark, it had better taste full and if it is black as a moonless night, call it heaven.I am in love with my best friend. Erin gets me how no one else does. She gave up everything including part of herself to travel around the world with me. For that, I am indebted to her. We both have grown as individuals and as a couple since we met. We are learning to deal with bumps, forks, and roadblocks in our path very well now. I would rather spend the rest of my life with no other person.Have you ever wanted to live on a tropical island for a year? I have too, and for the first time in my life, I think I might just do that. Not a debt nor care in the world. Just me, Erin, a different culture and nature. Learn how to think in a more simple way. It is puzzling to me how cultures with so little are welcoming and other cultures are so elitist. This is starting to get under my skin the more I am away from where I was born.You only live one life, make the best of it.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Those that feel the same as I do about respect, trust, honesty and forgiveness. Those that don't judge what they don't know and only make decisions for themselves based off of knowledge and understanding.

words I caught myself saying.

I have caught myself saying something I thought I would never say.  I have been saying "home" in reference to coming back to Kunshan.  It has been in a "if we had a choice we would be back i...

8 down 16 to go

Well, we've been here 8 months now.  Enough of our lives invested in this experience to know we are too far along to turn back now without losing our ass.  Suck it up, put your head down and...
