Hello! I currently hail from Chattanooga, TN. Once I finish my education here in the southeast, I'm eager to get moving westward.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Deep down, I think everyone wants to set a course straight into the unknown and just wing it. Last summer, that's what I did. I bought a motorcycle, I filled up my backpack, and I headed south into the mystery. Salt Lake City, Flagstaff, Phoenix. San Diego, Los Angeles, San Fransisco. Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver. Then finally Chicago and Memphis.
