CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

When I was in kindergarten, I thought I would definitely know what I wanted to be by the time I became a teenager. Then I became a teenager, and knew I would definitely find my place in the world after college. I recently graduated college, and now hope that maybe I'll finally have a clear purpose by 30. Until then, I travel.

PHILOSOPHY

The future unknown minute, day, year, lifetime are worth living for.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played with a baby whale in the middle of the Pacific Ocean while its mother supervised her calf from below us. He swam to each of us and looked us in the eyes before splashing us with his fins. When his mother called to him signaling the end of play time, he dutifully rejoined her and they swam away into the deep blue.
