CURRENT MISSION

To explore our planet, and inspire people to do likewise through my journey.

ABOUT ME

It is nearly impossible to put down an accurate description here, as I am always growing and changing as a person. I'm a laid back guy and you won't catch me stressing about much. I approach the world with curiousity, exploring this and that, while looking for things/ideas I can carry with me forever.

I encourage anyone from any background to surf my couch and share you're story with me, as YOU can be the inspiration I'm looking for to start my next travels.

PHILOSOPHY

"My creator gave me a gift to excel at, through trial and error it is my duty to discover it otherwise I risk being lost in mediocrity". Tattooed on my right arm-the moment when a talent of yours meets passion. Life is a journey and adventure to find your element, however the search for it has to be practiced in detachment, or in other words, you can't actively search for your element. Once you find your element however, time ceases to exist and anything becomes possible.
