Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My mission is to have a great time in life helping as many people as i can along the way in as many new and amazing places as possible
ABOUT ME
I am a chill respectful Marylander who loves organizing to improve the world. I like to go out and have a good time. I love meeting and staying with new people who live in the places I visit, there is no other way to really get at the culture. I'm 6 feet tall, brown hair, red beard, i like to eat and laugh, I have a pretty positive outlook on life nearly all the time.
PHILOSOPHY
"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."
- E.B. White.
