Hi, I'm John. I'm a road trip professional for a living (Commercial Big Rig Truck Driver). I've been at it for almost 12 years and over 1 million miles now.
I like to talk to people with strong opinions. I like to argue. I like to agree. I like to agree to disagree. I like to say, "Let's agree to disagree" to people who hate that expression. I'm a man child in good humor but I morph into a flashback of your father that time you accidentally dumped a whole bucket of latex paint on the garage floor when I'm upset. Once I calm down I feel guilty for overreacting and take you out to get icecream. My life is the sort of dumpster fire that made Dr. Phil, Jerry Springer, and COPs great financial successes in the entertainment industry.
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've a'had my share, man
I've been everywhere.
Requests
I like to talk to anyone who likes to travel. Anyone who knows about being a stranger in far off places.
Language Exchange Requests
I speak English and bad English fluently... I've taken courses in German, Portuguese, and Spanish but honestly I'm abysmal at learning second languages and I'm not much better off than someone who hasn't taken instruction
Hobbies & Interests
I'm an aquarium nerd.
I've been wanting to get better at the technical aspects of photography and editing for which I am a novice. I see so many great sights I want to be able to capture them to share. Photos also help keep visceral memory sharp.
When I was little I wanted to grow up to be a pirate.
My long term goal is to quit working, buy a sailboat, and liveaboard cruising and seeing the world.
My talents include; Waiting too long between haircuts and not shaving.
Favorite Music
I've been brainwashed into enjoying country music... I also like 90's alternative.

The Mosquito Coast... The Man Who Would Be King... Jaws... Jurassic Park.
