CURRENT MISSION Explore, Learn, Enojy ABOUT ME I am adventurous, and enjoy exploring new and different cultures. I'm low maintenance and polite while at the same time very gregarious when placed in social situations. I like talking about what people do and why they do it, and I get excited talking about literature, politics, philosophy etc. I am a conscious and thoughtful person who is stoked on life and all that it has to offer. PHILOSOPHY Be aware of the world around you, and take advantage of all the great possibilities it has to offer while not stepping on people.

My Interests
I like learning and understanding things from different perspectives. I spend a lot of time hiking and backpacking and rolling in the dirt. I like reading, writing and conversing with other people. I also enjoy drinking with friends and being rambunctious, dancing, laughing, and generally having as much fun as I can. I also have a love for nostalgia and reliving how I would imagine people lived from past decades depending on the situation. In a similar sense i am fascinated with history and cultural identities, exploring how other people lived and currently live their lives.
