Countries I've Traveled To
Languages Spoken
English, Spanish, lil' bit of German, and Im pretty sure I can understand that British version of English
Interests
Books you might find in my backpack
Music you might find me listening to while waiting for my plane
Most Memorable Travel Experience
Tough one, possibly being in Rome for Pope John Paul's funeral; any of the numerous trips up mountains in the alps; horse back riding in Austria; white water rafting in switzerland... hopefully each new adventure is more memorable than the last
Profile
Originally from Chicago, now Im living in Schweinfurt Germany serving in the US Army as a Mortar Section Sergeant currently on my 2nd deployment to Iraq. 28 out of the last 40 deployed, but it has added to my travels, wouldnt have seen the middle east otherwise. After this depoyment, who knows. The next place Im heading is the Bahamas for a break and then itll be down to Australia. When Im not deployed Im usually looking for a new mountain to board in the winter and in the summer its either climbing or skydiving. Lately been working on learning new songs for the pipes and counting down the days till I get back to Germany... oh and by the way, the other day I was looking for my eye protection (sun glasses for the civilians out there) and after I found them someone said "It's always in the last place you look"... Well no shit, who in their right mind would keep looking for something after they have already found it???? Please don't humor me with the rational to this statement or any other argument, its dumb, and you shouldnt use it.
