Just the basics...

About Me

I am not your typical 24 year old; I have more stamps in my passport that a popstar on tour, I have been to the deepest and darkest places on this planet -- and I have come out of them seeing the beauty this world can achieve. I have no patience for stupidty but have all the patience in the world with children.I make it my goal everyday to live life to its fullest and never let an opportunity no matter how small pass me by. I don't have to ask myself 'what if' at the end of the day and I have that much more experience in life for it.I am an old soul with a young heart and a sometimes childish penchant for fun. I am as complicated as I am simple to understand... I want what's best for both myself and those around me.

My Interests

-Baseball

-Running

-Romantic walks to the convenience store

-Soccer

-Reading

-Cooking

Above all else, I realize travelling is what I enjoy and do the most. I am fascinated by different cultures, foods and customs. I find myself in new countries and cities and always off the beaten track. You'll never find me in a tourist trap, but in the back alleys experiencing everything a city doesn't realize it has to offer.

I'd like to meet:

Those who I can help; those whose lives can be changed by the little I may be able to offer. We can't change the world by helping more than one person at a time; I'd like to think I do my part by doing just that -- helping one person at a time as best I can. Hopefully they will pass that feeling on to another when they are in a position to as well. It's the small things in the world that make a big difference; be a small part of a big change.

Music:

Just about everything from Opera to Rap all the way to Mariachi Bands... basically anything that sounds good and nothing that sounds bad.

Movies:

Let's get this out of the way... Braveheart is the greatest movie ever.

...love a good comedy; best one is by far Euro Trip which also has the best ongoing joke ever with Scotty Doesn..t Know! Other Notables:

-Fools Rush In -- 'Hello Chuwi, I'm Luke Skywalker'

-Anything by Abbott and Costello -- 'Who's on first?'
