Me: I'm a UI designer for a major fashion company. I'm also a photographer and a writer. I want to get out, see the world and immerse myself in every culture I can find, while writing and taking pics. My Goal: To see and do everything that I haven't seen or done before. My Philosophy: “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!” ― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
