CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and learn as much as possible about the different lifestyles, cultures, people, and things it has to offer while making it better for those who inhabit it in the process.

ABOUT ME

I'm a lover of life and am always looking to make the most of it - whether it's trying new and different things, going to new places, or meeting interesting people - I want to do it all.

My specialty at university was International Studies, so I really want to get to know this world that we live in and all the people that inhabit it.

Life is too short to get stuck in your daily routine and never know what's truly out there.

PHILOSOPHY

"Pain is inevitable, misery is optional." - anonymous

"If you think you're fucked up, and the world you live in is fucked up, then you're doing pretty good."
-Dr. Bird

"Fear the time when the bombs stop falling while the bombers live — for every bomb is proof that the spirit has not died."
-John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
