ABOUT ME

I took a gap year after school with my internship money and returned home a year later, broke but inspired. I took a job expecting to save up and leave again in a year. Instead I ended up staying nearly four. Now though I've decided to take another longterm trip with even loftier goals. This time though I'm too old to end up broke back with my parents. The stakes have never been higher...

PHILOSOPHY

"But he who dedicates himself to the duration of his life, to the house he builds, to the dignity of mankind, dedicates himself to the earth and reaps from it the harvest that sows its seed and sustains the world again and again."
-Albert Camus
