I'm a 23 year old who is just trying to find his way in life and is consumed with an unquenchable wanderlust and thirst for adventure. Former philosophy and neuropsychology student who is trying to cope with his existence by traveling and living to the fullest. I was originally born in Kansas City, Kansas (the BBQ capital of the world) before moving to Oklahoma when I was 12. Now I just seek to leave my impact on the world by experience as many cultures as I can, building genuine relationship, and reflecting thereupon. I hope to one day write a reflective and philosophical work pertaining to my experiences. I, also, hope to ride my motorbike around the world one day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. A few years back I was climbing a 4,000+ meter mountain in Colorado and I was fortunate enough to witness the sun rising over the mountains in the distance. The early morning rays creeping up and illuminating the valley below with hues of red, pink, and orange. The sky coated like a watercolor painting.

2. I was briefly able to study at the University of Vienna

3. Climbed 4 different 4,000+ meter peaks.

4. While in Vienna, getting two drink and converse with two local PhD students before wandering the streets until late into the night
