About Me

Im just a guy trying to smile as much as possible. I learned the hard way that money is not the most important thing in life. I left home and hit the road in February of '05, living briefly in Thailand and then settling down in Japan. Leaving the psychological blanket of America truly opened my eyes. Its a process that can not be put into words but only felt by getting up and getting out. My advice to any person reading this is to travel. Travel as far as you can away from what you have always known. Leave the country if you can, the world is a big place filled with interesting people and things to see. The human spirit is infectious and can change you if you allow it to do so.I try to remain positive in my life and look to the bright side of the road. My inspirations are music, people, and nature. Music will save you, people will share your load, and nature will remind you of the divine presence on Earth. Much LOVE to all reading this. May our trails be long enough to cross once again further down the road.Images by: The Texture Group
