I travel because:

I love seeing all the world has to offer from the dirtiest and poorest spots to the most beautiful awe inspiring places and all of them in between!

Perfect meal:

Beef Tacos, in a warm flour tortilla with pico de gallo and some fresh guacamole, served with warm tortilla chips and a fruity drink, sitting on a beach with a spattering of people all being mesmerized by the power of the giant waves crashing onto the shore, smelling the salty air and appreciating being in the moment.

Never travel without:

my camera-so I can capture every moment of every experience

I wish they invented:

A small portable contraption that can instantly dry your clothes after you washed them.

Last thing I broke:

I broke my foot chasing a goat, that had escaped from its leash, while I was living in Ghana. Not my best day on this planet

The thing I always forget:

Enough Money or Toliet paper,

Travel inconveniences I could do without:

Waiting, waiting for a Poda Poda(small bus) to slowly fill up with people to head off to the next destination, Sierra Leone was the worst, 8 hours for the Poda poda to fill up only to go through a check point and get stopped because we didn't have a spare tire!

When not traveling I'm:

Working and saving up money to travel to my next destination

Derek S.

I'm easy going, I appreciate the small things in life, and look for the humor in everything, I like the saying 'Look at the world with child like wonder', I keep that in the for front of my mind for my day to day activities. My principles are my guiding force. They are the frame of the car that I drive through life, the fuel being my passion. I follow my moral compass and my gut feelings when I make my decisions. To date my gut, principles, and 'moral compass' have yet to fail or disappoint me.
