CURRENT MISSION

To experience the world and the people in it on budget

ABOUT ME

I am a 22 year old college kid who wants to experience the entire world - the incredibly bad as well as the unimaginably beautiful.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that most people in developed nations live a life that promotes many systems of oppression and destruction. I want to break that norm and help reverse the current situation that much of the world is in! I also really want to travel and fall in love with all kinds of people - because the world is a pretty cool place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am most proud of organizing a fundraiser that gathered $2,000 to help provided heifers to families in rural Kenya.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have studied anthropology and can talk about it, I can teach basic Spanish or English, I really enjoy reading and want to learn a lot more about poetry. I understand international politics and political theory pretty well, though I tend to avoid talking about these topics too directly. Zen Buddhism is a pet passion of mine if you want to talk it over. I can quote Siddhartha's entire 'Flower Sermon'.
