CURRENT MISSION

This summer, my mission is to travel to 20 different European countries and dive into each culture by building relationships with native families.

ABOUT ME

I am a 19 year old student studying Business at the University of Texas in Austin, and I have a desire to travel the world. In my travels, I plan to learn as much as I can about each culture, and I plan to spend my time as if I were a local and not a tourist in every city that I visit. I am extremely clean and love to try new things.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is to live life to the fullest by experiencing new things all the time. I have a bucket list that I am very passionate about, and I believe that everything on the list brings me one step closer towards enriching my life with new challenges and adventures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have ridden on a K3 bucking bull in a rodeo before.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that I can teach philosophy and religion fairly well. My philosophy stems from the experiences I have gained rather than the theories that I have studied, and my knowledge of religions stems from the books that I have read about nearly every religion.
I would love to learn more about cultures, social norms, and great stories that people have to share.
