About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"They have their worries, theyâ

ABOUT ME

I'm a year back from Peace Corps Ukraine, sat around for 5 months then decided to go to school to get an employable skill and become a physical therapist assistant, which as been a very rewarding experience so far! I think I have accomplished what I wanted to by joining peace corps, and I would join again because I could do it better a second time around, but later. I love to be busy, then relaxing is so much more enjoyable. I like to snowboard and play soccer and create art. I dont have any idea where I will be in the next 5 years besides the fact that I'll be doing something, somewhere, with someone I never expected, and I'm ok with that, I'm actually excited for that.

PHILOSOPHY

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." -Jack Kerouac

i like jack kerouac, one of the first true travelers of our time, hoping trains and bumming rides.
