About me:

In 2006 I quit my corporate gig at a software company to go to France and teach English for 8 months to quell my wanderlust. Eight months later I was back at home, 14 countries that I had visited behind me with no end in sight of the travel bug leaving my system. So now I'm back in the corporate world - dreaming and scheming to get back out on the road.

Tunes I rock out to:

My musical tastes are pretty eclectic. I like anything from 30 Seconds to Mars to Goapele to Disturbed to Alicia Keys to 3 Doors Down to Johannes Linstead to Solace to Anita Baker. It really just depends on my mood.

Travel style:

I prefer to travel alone, though it depends where I'm going and for how long. I always have an open mind when I travel, and am extremely interested in other cultures, religions, and ways of life of others.
