About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to chart every planet in the universe.. STARTING WITH EARTH!!!

ABOUT ME

I was born in the suburbs of Richmond, Virgina. I've lived in the same house my entire life. The only traveling I had done prior to 2008 was to Washington DC, the Virginia beach, the Virginia mountains, and the beaches in the Carolinas.

In January 2008 I was inspired after I took a road trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I realized that no longer did I have to confine my aspirations to travel; the entire world is far more accessible than I thought for the first two decades of my life. Earlier this year, I also went to New York City and Baltimore. Next is Los Angeles, Cairo, Hong Kong, and the rest of the world.

It is not a small world after all. It's humongous, and I intend to learn and understand it as much as possible while I'm alive. For the rest of my life, I will travel, learn, and meet new people. Well, as long as I can afford it.

PHILOSOPHY

I live because I am alive. I don't want to waste it!
