About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel through Europe and meet people.

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly, outgoing person. I would describe myself as an 'ambivert'. I love being alone, reading and writing -- but I also make the best of a social situation and am quick to make new friends.

Establishing communicative relationships is the virtue of living. I enjoy learning about another person's life, and how they've managed to get to where they are at the present moment.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't fix others until you know how to fix yourself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just hiked McAfee Knob in Catawba, Virginia. That was beautiful.

I was awestruck by a tower I visited with a friend in Teufelsberg, Germany (just outside of Berlin). The facility is now abandoned, but it was once a huge technological compound, which contained old sonar observation towers used by the Allies in WWII to spy on the people in the area surrounding Berlin.

It was a hike to get there, and even illegal to enter (it's not strictly enforced), but it was well worth the trip.
