About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see how far I can travel with my savings.

ABOUT ME

I'm 23 years old and finally done with my Bachelors Degree. Before I jump into the rat-race I have to see everything I can in one year off. I work as a server in San Francisco to save up during busy season and travel in the off-season - I love the outdoors and am convinced that once I get going I won't be coming back. Love to read, love to draw, love to meet people and I'm always learning new stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

There is no meaning but what you make it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
