I own a 106 room 4-star luxury boutique hotel in midtown Phoenix - Clarendon Hotel + Suites. Coming to Phoenix? Hit me up for a room - www.theclarendon.net

As urban as I can be, I absolutely dig the outdoors where I can be free of man made machinery and noises and utterly isolated and either just sitting and watching how the world is interconnected or doing something that gives me a nice adrenaline rush.

I've traveled a bit and really want to travel more and don't mind taking a buddy with me on trips as long as they're a cool person. I've been to the following countries with the following highlights:

US - Alaska's isolation, kayaking and wildlife - Arizona's canyons and mountains - these top all the other states.
Canada - eh?
Mexico - Pyramids at Teotihuacan
Costa Rica - Volcanos and Wildlife
Brazil - Rio and the mountains
Argentina - Food, the Men, Iguazu Falls
British Virgin Islands - Relaxation and Snorkeling
Taiwan - not much
Malaysia - it's modernism clashing with multiculturalism
Thailand - beaches, caves, rivers, cities, food and more
Laos - temples, markets, rivers, unspoiled beauty
Cambodia - ruins, tragic recent history, markets, crazy driving
Korea - not many highlights
Australia - not impressed - Melbourne is like Portland, Sydney is like Seattle with a million ugly tweakers.
New Zealand - greeeeeeen, caving, rappelling, geothermal activity, glow worms - but all wildlife has been decemated.... go to Alaska instead.
Vanuatu - best snorkeling ever, most beautiful smiles, remote, unaffected people, no radio or television signals at all, and the best volcanos on earth!!!
England - like Peter Pan at night, but not all that.
France - Paris is always magical, no matter the time of year!
Germany - medieval meets modern industry - fast trains.
Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Holland - overrated tourism.
Spain - Barcelona, all of it! Madrid - if it weren't for Roberto, it'd be nothing to me.
Italy - Food, history, art, explorat

I'd like to see a lot of the same traits as myself in someone else... Someone adorable and fun with a sense of adventure and an always positive and optimistic attitude. Someone with goals, dreams, and desires. Someone with common sense. Someone who can cook, fix things, and be self-reliant. Someone who's an incredible kisser. Someone who enjoys the finer things in life while enjoying the experiences that life has to offer - without labels, materialism, or the attitude that they're better than anyone else. And most of all, someone who realizes that through observation, all things have their fulfillment.
