About Me

CURRENT MISSION

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”

ABOUT ME

I look at life as a vacation because quite honestly what else could this possibly be? We are miraculously given 70, 80, maybe 90 years in these vessels, these things that can feel and communicate and move on their own, where we can do absolutely anything we can dream of. The craziest thing we can possibly procure in our minds, we can go and actually do them. To get caught up in the commercial, in the corporate, in the insignificant world of social pressures and expectations is quite literally to turn down the opportunity of a lifetime.
