CURRENT MISSION

One cannot help but grow from other people and their interests

ABOUT ME

Living life outside, involved, and varied. Most of my life has been city living. Recently, I've slowed everything down to experience more. Here in Murphys I Rarely have cell service, intermittent Internet, and I get to be outside everyday.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's purpose is to have as many experiences as possible, without doing something that would then limit future experiences.

Try something new, try it so fully that you fail a bit, and then try it some more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled and lived in Istanbul for 2 months when I was 19. I'd never been to a Muslim country, never lived alone, and didn't speak any Turkish. I figured it out once I got there, with help from people. I felt the wide expanse of the world become accessible as I learned many people are willing to help you achieve something if you just ask.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess it all depends on what the two parties are interested in...Everyone has so much to teach one another, but it's almost necessary to meet to understand what you're meant to teach or what you're meant to learn.
