CURRENT MISSION

I want to travel for the new experiences and opportunities to learn about other cultures, people and places.

ABOUT ME
I've been on several backpacking trips, most recently to celebrate my graduation I have taken time off before I start my career in order to explore New Zealand and Oceania. The natural world draws my attention the most, and I love hunting down landscape photography opportunities, as well as long treks up mountains to see the horizon. I also enjoy drinking and conversation with people I've never met before.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be a better person today than I was yesterday.
