CURRENT MISSION

to live a holistic life

ABOUT ME

grew up in mid-coast maine, home to blueberries, lobsters, and moose. I attended Berea College in Kentucky where i finished an Agriculture and Natural Resources in Sustainable Systems degree. I love to travel of course meet new people and share thoughts and passions and theories and opinions.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess to dare to dream big dreams, realize those dreams, do everything to make those dreams reality, and have as much fun and learn as much as possible on the way. If we don't pursue our dreams, then our life will be a mask of untruth to ourselves, a vacant page of individuality; don't live for anyone else's cause but your own. I don't think this is selfish, for if live this way, i believe we will be the most productive in life. The happiest people i know are the one that know what their dreams are and go after them, because they know that we have to make our own path to happiness. Life is God.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

couchsurfing abroad; ; seeing people with uninhibited love for one another

Teach, Learn, Share

The best way to share I believe, is to express yourself to people as openly and honest as can be and not be afraid to be vulnerable. Sharing passions and experiences is a component of growth for myself
