CURRENT MISSION

"The world's at large, why should I remain"

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, and to experience new places and cultures. I also like to get off the grid and go backpacking (just got back from a week at Yosemite). I love meeting new people, and finding pleasure in the simple things in life.
