People often ask me: What is a wandering adventurer? A wandering adventurer is a fun and charismatic entertainer who travels from place to place and tries exciting new things. I like to travel, and I like to have fun with good people.
I wander to different places. Some are common places like Los Angeles and New York City, but some places are not as well known like Goose Creek in South Carolina or Trenton in New Jersey. I wander out in search of fun like concerts, beaches, and parties, and I like to bring a friend or two when I go, but that doesn't always happen.
The important part of wandering out is finding new places to go and new things to do, but the most important part of wandering is the people that I meet. That's what makes the experience important; it's the people that I meet who change my life. That's how the adventure ensues.
Some people know me for one hour and influence me forever, and other people know me for years and have little influence at all. I never know who is going to be a major part of my life, so I greet everyone like he or she is my best friend that I haven't seen since grammar school.
I approach life like a school child, and everyone I meet is an opportunity to learn something new. In my eyes, we are all school children playing on the playground of life. The games we play on the playground of life are the adventures in life that we seek. So, what's your adventure?
I'll see you out there!
