I am part Hawaiian, Filipino and some Spanish. I love traveling and seeing new places. I wish I took alot of pictures before but I was too young to realize that pictures are important. I promise to start taking pictures from now on. I wish that all this time I had a companion to travel with. Most of the time I travel alone. If you see me say a hi and tell me you saw my homepage maybe we can hangout and see the sights together or so.

The things I love to do aside from traveling the world are Cycling (Mountain and Road), And riding my Ducati Motorcycle.

I was deployed to iraq in 2004-2005 and during my R&R i decided not to go home to Hawaii. I spent 2 weeks roaming and Visiting family friends and family all over Italy. It was great. I was kinda drunk from wine most of the time. I drank alot of wine and capuccino or espresso. Loved the sights, food, people and sound. I was even emperor of Rome for a day!

Wow..I ended up being in kuwait for a month. While the rest of my unit went home I was stuck in Kuwait to load all our equipment in the ship. I was 2nd in command. Yes! So after our work is done I made sure we went out to have some quality time. Take care of the troops and get to see the place. It was great and we all had fun!!!

Well I am in Iraq but its not so bad. I flew over Baghdad during the day time and took this cool picture. Wow I feel like a tourist in a tour chopper.
Cant say alot about this place cause I have been in is bases. I'm sure it was a nice place before the war. I hope it gets fixed up again and they become self sustaining again.
