I embrace life's dichotomies; When seemingly opposing views coincide harmoniously. I've often said that I'm a Psychology Major without ever having taken a psychology class. It's innate in who I am. I like to understand, be curious and ask "What makes people tick?". I balance that with times where you just don't try to figure things out, you just accept it. One great example is around fetishes and likes or dislikes. Sometimes in instances where nobody is being hurt or harmed: "There are some things that turn you on you just can't explain. You just just go with it"

All my life I wanted to travel the world. Now I'm doing it. The many and diverse cultures of the World fascinate me. I travel an average of 50-60% of the time. I love the adventure.
