| My life so far in 200 words or less
I was born in 1974 during the Vietnam War and left during Operation
Babylift in 1975 with a bunch of other Vietnamese orphans. I was
adopted by a French-Canadian family and lived in Canada until the
age of 12. Moved to the state of Kentucky and went to school in
Memphis. Got in trouble and went back again to Kentucky but trouble
followed me again and I ended up graduating from high school in St.
Louis, MO. Moved to Atlanta,GA for college, almost went bankrupt
and lived on a sailboat with a girl and two dogs. Somehow managed
to graduate from college and worked for the 1996 Olympics in
Atlanta. I went back to Kentucky to weigh my options and found the
right girl but could never be with her because I am an adopted child
and not Chinese. Moved back to Atlanta to work some more in the
corporate world. Went on a vacation and realized that I was fed up
wearing a suit and tie and decided to go traveling for a long
time. |

| Why do I _________?
I know that some of you may not truly understand my reasons for giving up everything that I had so I could start anew in a foreign country where I did not speak the language or even understand the culture but in all honesy, I cannot even explain all of the reasons to myself. I know that it all happened very suddenly but maybe, as you read more about my everyday life, you will begin to understand my reasons. If you do figure out what I am all about, please let me know!!!When I first made the decision to move to Costa Rica for a while, some of my co-workers, friends, and family members thought that it was a great idea and that I was courageous and brave to just pack and go in search of adventure and to just live life. Others just thought that I was crazy for giving up a promising job working for the largest soft-drink company in the world. They would tell me that I belonged in Atlanta and that it didn't make any sense for me to give up security, money, and a great future for an uncertain future It all happened in February of 2002 after I had just gotten back from a 10 day vacation in Costa Rica. Three weeks after I got back from my vacation, my decision was made and I just left. My reasons are a bit complicated yet simple but for now, my official statement is that I wanted a different lifestyle. I craved adventure and excitment. I wanted a peaceful and stress-free life away from all of the worries in the world. I wanted to get away from all types of responsibilities. I wanted to contradict myself in the worst ways and not worry about what other people had to say about me. I wanted to search the world for questions and answers. Entonces, voici mon site internet qui est la para hablar de mi historia past, present, and future. I hope that you enjoy my site and my struggle against evil and good.

Currently reading:
"Conversation with God" by Neale Donald Walsh.
This book was given to me by someone that is very dear to my heart. I will always treasure the memories that we built together and I hope that one day, we will be able to build more together.
How people met me and what they think about me

If you are interested in reading about my drive from Atlanta, GA to Costa Rica then click here. The story is actually a short version of the drive but I hope that it will give you an idea of what I went through.
Here is also something that you might be interested in reading. It is a short compilation of e-mails between an old co-worker/friend on my drive down to Costa Rica. Just click here to read it.
