About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To go on all seven continents and see as many countries as I can before I die

ABOUT ME

I'm 21 years old and I'm an economics major.

Since I hate being home, I love to travel. I like to travel on a shoestring and particularly like to see things of historical and political importance.

Anyways, I'm pretty quiet and easy to get along with so you wouldn't have to worry if I stay at your place.

PHILOSOPHY

I have a pretty lenient attitude towards thing - as long as people do things that don't directly harm me, then I'm cool with it.

I also believe in living life to the fullest and to live each day like it's your last (well, I can't always do that but when I can, I try).

And also, I believe in these words of Ben Franklin:

"One must write things worth reading
Or do things worth writing"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot of amazing stuff: Climbed up the Sydney Harbour Bridge, see a session of the House of Representatives, go to the Supreme Court hearing that outlawed the public display of the 10 Commandments, snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef, stayed at a ranch in the Australian Outback, did seven major US cities in only 10 days for under $600, met Australian aborigines, been to the top of the Eiffel Tower, gone to the top of the CN Tower, seen Che Guevara's mausoleum, talked to a Cuban guy about poverty in Cuba, had some rum with a native Cuban, seen the shroud of Our Lady of Guadalupe, met a Mayan medicine man, shot an AK-47, have a picture taken with a Tijuana zebra, won (and lost) money in Vegas at blackjack

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a bit of Java and C++, in case you want to learn some computer programming.

Obviously, I know English. I'd be willing to teach that (English was always my best subject in school).
