Well, I guess I'm just another guy from the States. I am interested in just exchanging letters with people from around the world. I've been through Europe three times in my life and really found it exhilarating​.

I'm an engineer and a photographer​ (I added a few of my shots to my gallery -- check it out for yourself I'm really proud of my work!).

Honestly, I'm not here to start up an internet romance. It's not the primary reason I'm here. Just here to learn and share!

Do you live on planet Earth? Do you have a computer? Can you communicate in English or have a desire to improve your English skills? I volunteer my services as teacher!

I would be open to sharing messages with almost anyone from anywhere!! (I'd leave a message here for the scammers, but why bother -- they're not reading these things anyway and send their crap anyway).

Photography,​ Music, Cooking (yes, a man that can actually cook!), Science Fiction, Being a better human-being!​!
