ABOUT ME
I figure we all say it but I really do hate describing myself on these things, virtual resumes do not say anything about me at all. In a nutshell, I'm very empathetic and truly enjoy surrounding myself with different people as I find they teach me the most about myself. I don't take much seriously and am always looking for a laugh and a good time.
I study PR and international business at Florida International University, and write/direct short films for fun. One day I'd like to set up a platform for communities around the globe to interact and educate each other effortlessly past the confines of a social media context.
I recently decided to sell most all of my material possessions and put my studies on hold to go on a personal voyage around the world, starting in Peru, then the UK. If you're reading this, I genuinely hope to encounter you on my journey!
PHILOSOPHY
"Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another."
- Ernest Hemingway
"Life will give you whatever experience is necessary for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because it's the experience you're having at the moment."
- Eckhart Tolle
