CURRENT MISSION

Take a little and give a lot!

ABOUT ME

After graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder I packed up the car headed back to Chicago, IL for work. For the past year I have been working in Chicago until recently I resigned from my position to embark on my journey around the world with my little brother (Ryan 19). We decided this would be a great opportunity to see the world and have the chance to meet wonderful people along the way. I am very adventurous guy who is fun, friendly, caring, open-minded, and always up to learning something new!

PHILOSOPHY

"The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present." Unknown (I want to know who wrote this)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunsets on the island of Koh Tao, Thailand.
The ability to go snowboarding in New Zealand in August was amazing experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

CouchSurfing for me is the chance to learn about another culture and place of land that I do not know. This is done by getting a chance to meet those that live in the place I am visiting.

Countries I’ve Visited
