About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently trying to make in around the world (going west) over the course of 1.5 years

ABOUT ME

Very laid back, outgoing, always love to try new foods and learn local cultures.

I've been traveling the world since August of 2013. I originally planned on backpacking Central America for only 3 months and then returning home to be in a wedding, and start a new job. However, after returning home I knew there was far to much of the world left to see before settling into a new job. So I sold my apartment, all of my furniture, my truck, and various other possessions in order to fund a trip to go around the world over the course of 2 years. I am about halfway through my trip now and have met lots of really amazing people.

I have been picking up many types of jobs to help me extend my trip. I've done everything from working on a yacht in the Cayman Islands, teaching English in several countries, and even bartending in a few countries.
