About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want adventure. I want freedom. To explore. To stare danger right in the eyes. To eat bomb food :)

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Southern California, and barely beginning to travel. I can be fairly shy when you first meet me, as well as reserved. If I click with a person well, then I’m pretty outgoing and talkative. I’m very easygoing, but can come off as being serious at times. I’m always up for an adventure. I’m a bit rebellious in that sense. I live a pretty fast paced life, always on the go, and a busy body. I hate wasting time if there’s somewhere to be and places to explore.

I'm not much of a party-goer. I mean I'll go to events and stuff, but I don't have a strong urge or need to go clubbing/bars. I also don't drink or smoke.

PHILOSOPHY

To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, to draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life.
- The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that death will tremble to take us.
-Charles Bukowski

The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
-Randy Pausch

Pursue your passions. With every obstacle you face, comes a seed of opportunity for growth.

- Boulder climbed up a waterfall
- Passed by a bear while horseback riding
- The first time I decided to fly out and travel, I went on my own. =]
